Aztec’s give Colorado State a Gift

It was ugly; they were tired, and to say the least the effort was lackadaisical at best. SDSU looked pathetic; and, more importantly they showed little effort what-so-ever: Xavier Thames, James Rahon and Tapley were a combined 6 for 36. Kudos to Jamaal for a great individual effort, but one man does not make a team. Colorado Sate’s timing could not have been better; they found SDSU when they were at their most vulnerable. Despite what Fisher had to say, travel to and from Wyoming given the fiasco that occurred getting there, and then going back to play at altitude against a desperate team a couple of days later was simply a recipe for disaster. This is a bad loss and will hurt SDSU considerably. Look for the Aztec’s to fall at least 5 to 7 spots in the polls. It could be worse because Colorado State is arguably a decent team at best, and losing the way SDSU did can only be bad–no two ways about it.

Fisher and the Aztecs simply tried to do too much in too short of time. The brutal schedule finally caught up with them. Hopefully they recover and rebound against an unpredictable Boise State. Its funny; Colorado State fans stormed the court after the game. Needless to say they still have to play at Vejas and the Aztec fans will show no mercy!
