OT-SDSU Basketball

[gandalf]

SDSU is hard to beat.

They are a great defensive team, and they rebound. And that wins games. 33 of them. They struggle at times finding the basket. In any given game, the points seem to come from different players. But they get hot, and go on runs that put games away. They are a tough matchup for any team.

SDSU will get past Temple.

Watch for SDSU vs. UConn, statement game for the Aztecs.

There is a Big 5 connection with the Aztecs. Sixth man James Rahon went to Torrey Pines High School. His coach there, John Olive played at Nova, graduated in ’77, and later was Rollie Massimino’s assistant there. Might be a conflict if his Wildcats get past George Mason tomorrow, then somehow get past Ohio St. They could, though very unlikely, meet SDSU in the final four.

Rollie Massiminio is yhe most hated men in Big 5 history. He destroyed the Big 5, all its history and tradition for the sake of the NCAA Tournament. Each school used to play every other team twice a year (home and away). That is until Rollie decided he was taking too many losses because the games were always highly contested and it was hurting his seeding for the NCAA Tournament.

Probably had a lot more to do with conference comittments than anything Rollie did. Villanova joined the Big East around 1980, and I think St.Joes, Temple and La Salle went to the Atlantic 10 about the same time. I really don’t remember it ever being a home and home thing, I thought a lot of the games were double headers at the Palestra. I know it kind of fizzled a few years before Rollie left in the early 90’s, but by then I’m quite sure it was a just single round robin. If thats when you’re talking about, it does make sense. They’re back to that single round robin now, have been for quite awhile. Rollie’s still coaching, btw, at a tiny little school in Florida.
