- The Wildcats have some height on the roster in freshman Eric Conklin 6-6, junior Chris Johnson 6-6, freshman Rondae Holis-Jefferson 6-7, sophomore Brandon Ashley 6-8, freshman Aaron Gordon 6-9, junior Matt Korcheck 6-10 and sophomore Kaleb Tarczewski.
Arizona is a legitimate top-five team, says Steve Fisher.They can hurt you in many different ways.

- I believe the score of the game will be in the mid to high 60’s. San Diego State this season will live in the low to mid 70’s. If the Aztecs score more than 70 points they will be unbeatable.
Keys for Victory:
Aztecs:
1) Shoot more than 45% from the floor!
2) Point’s in the paint!
2) Only shoot 3-point shot’s that are open!
3) Limit turnovers!
4) Attack the offensive boards. Getting the offensive/defensive rebounds against this strong Arizona team will be a major key to victory!!!
Arizona
1) Force SDSU to shoot from the perimeter.
2) Force SDSU to commit turnovers.
3) Win the defensive battle of the boards.
4) Try and get SDSU to foul out.
(We will have a more in-depth statistical game preview in a few weeks! This is a preview we wrote last season during the NCAA Tournament. All of our game previews will be this complex after the Aztecs have played 10 games … SDSU vs. Oklahoma preview)

I know Arizona is very good. I think they can be beatable, especially in Viejas. Their freshman Aaron Gordon is their core, wait until he plays in Madness on the Mesa. He has not played in that environment before, guaranteed! (ie: NM last year – we took right out of their rhythm!). GO AZTECS!
