Let's remember that SDSU's roster is older, and our 2014 Championship team had good upperclassman leadership led by Shabazz (Sr.), Giffey (Sr.), Boatright (Jr.), DeAndre Daniels (Jr.).

They also beat Creighton, who we lost to earlier this season.  I see a well-coached, experienced, sneaky team that will be tough to beat.

Here are my keys to winning:

[B]1.  Pound the Paint[/B] - Feed Adama and Clingan, let them post up and feast all game
[B]2.  Utilize our 3 pt. Shooters[/B] - SDSU plays tight mid-range D and rotates 9 players, so we will need everyone (Hawkins, Karaban, Alleyne, Diarra) to step up and make it rain from 3
[B]3.  Minimize Turnovers[/B] - We're up against a tough defensive squad, and we've been turnover prone lately against the press.  Need crisp, decisive passing
[B]4.  Rebound Shots[/B] - offensive possessions are always a premium in defensive games, let's be scrappy and outhustle them on the offensive boards for second chance points

If we do the above, play scrappy and tough, and have an attitude to do whatever it takes to win, then I'm liking our chances at hoisting #5.  Let's Go Huskies!
