The Cougars have some height on the roster in sophomore Theo Johnson 6-6, sophomore  Harrison Bowne 6-6, senior Judson Hall 6-6, senior Willis Hall 6-6, junior Adjehi Baru 6-7, freshman Terrance O’ Donohue 6-7, freshman Anthony Thomas 6-7, freshman Glen Pierre, Jr. 6-11 and red-shirt sophomore David Wishon 7-2. The height of this roster could pose some problems for San Diego States fast and athletic team. 
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 mid 70’s. If the Aztecs score more than 70 points they will be unbeatable. A great place to check out game spreads and other stats on the game is william hill’s betting accumulator .

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 boards (Work on getting offensive rebounds)!

College of Charleston

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)
