MWC basketball for men
In a Mountain West Conference matchup on Tuesday night in San Diego’s Viejas Arena, San Diego State (17-6, 10-4) will welcome Fresno State (5-21, 1-14).
As we approach the final weeks of the regular season, it appears like the Aztecs and the Bulldogs are going in completely opposing paths. After their resounding victory over Boise State on Saturday, San Diego State has now won six of their last seven games. According to Joe Lunardi of ESPN, the Aztecs are still in the hunt for a spot in the NCAA tournament, as they were classified as one of the final four teams on Tuesday morning.
Since December 14, Fresno State has won once in year one under Vance Walberg’s coaching. Since 2001, the Bulldogs—who are ranked No. 256 in the nation by KenPom—have made it to the NCAA tournament once. On Saturday, the Bulldogs will have an opportunity to complete the season sweep of the Falcons. Last month, they defeated Air Force at home, which was their only conference victory thus far.
