Bryan Leonard
4* Conference Tournament Game of the Year!
San Diego State & UNLV
The Aztecs and Rebels meet up for the third time this season with an automatic trip to the Big Dance on the line. UNLV has already done enough to clinch the at large bid but many feel San Diego State needs a win here to be sure. Last year the Aztecs were in the same situation after knocking off a ranked BYU squad before falling to Utah in the tournament championship by two points. They had an RPI in the Top 40 but were passed over for the invite and had to settle for the NIT. You can bet Steve Fisher will remind his team of that slight one year ago.
While these clubs played exactly even in the first two games on the scoreboard it was clear that San Diego State matches up well with the Rebels. In the first meeting the Aztecs outshot UNLV from the field, had more free throw attempts and dominated on the boards 42-30. Because of poor free throw shooting they lost here in the Thomas&Mack. In the second meeting in San Diego the Aztecs again outshot the Rebels from the field, attempted more free throws and once again dominated on the boards 37-22. They hit their free throws and the contest was never in doubt.
UNLV is a relatively small team that struggles when matched up against good rebounding squads. They have also had problems with athletic teams and San Diego State fits both of those criteria. With what happened to the Aztecs last year being left out in the cold by the selection committee you know all they care about is winning this game. While the Rebels have the home court advantage the more motivated team is the underdog.
