[franch1se]

THE DAILY AZTEC

Season Outlook - A lot of new faces join the 2009 SDSU mens Basketball team. The Aztecs will yield a very young and inexperienced team that has potential to be dominant, can they overcome their selfish ways and growing pains early on? New faces include Top Freshman and Mr. California Kawhi Leonard. Also new to SDSU is Malcolm Thomas who is suspected to be a one and done at the Mesa and head to the NBA after the season. Also stepping into the starting role is C Brian Carlwell who sat out last season due to NCAA Transfer rules. Carlwell transfered from Illinois. Chase Tapley is a highly touted freshman as well from Sacramento, CA. Alec Williams will also look to see minutes as he joins a very deep Aztec front court containing star Billy White, Tim Shelton and Mehdi Cheriet. Kelvin Davis and DJ Gay make up the starting guards this season for the Aztecs. Neither has starting experience but received many minutes during last years season. Guard play will determine the Aztec Success as the Forwards will be how they win games.

GAELS DOMINATE AZTECS



The Gaels jumped out to a big lead over SDSU and never looked back. The main reason for these lead were the turnovers by the Aztecs (20) and the poor offensive decision making. The young Aztecs looked every bit their age as the talented kids who were once dominating stars in high school played that way. The Aztecs were too greedy and selfish and had a poor time distrubting the rock.

SAN DIEGO STATE 19-14 - 43
SAINT MARY'S 29 - 37 - 66

AZTEC STARTERS
Kawhi Leonard - 12 points
Billy White - 11 points
Brian Carlwell - 6 points
DJ Gay - 6 points
Kelvin Davis - 0 points

GAELS STARTERS
Ben Allen - 19 Points, 11 Rebounds
Mickey McConnell - 17 Points
Wayne Hunter - 16 Points
Omar Samhan 8 Points
Clint Steindl - 4 Points, 11 Rebounds
