Pretty much the same inteview as on 1360, pushing the season ticket packages plus LB extra ticket.
Fish mentioned to Darren that coach Lavin wouldn't take a game with us. I guess Lavin has been hitting LA hard and he and coach have talked back and forth about a game/possibly home and home but nothing has come of it.
per Fish "Everyone thinks we are going to be really good and don't wan't to play us."

per Fish "Everyone thinks we are going to be really good and don't wan't to play us." Well it's true and I can't say I blame the other teams for not wanting to play. We are going to be damn good this year and kick some serious ass! I have already been on record as saying we will be a Sweet 16 team this year. |

think it is great for all the coaches from SDSU to get on the radio and TV if they can to,promote their teams and games, hope they keep it up. They should allow their assistants to go on also to help get fans in the stands. Might not hurt for them to ask the announcers what games they plan on coming to watch them

My worry is that while we have sweet 16 talent, will our tough schedule - both non-conference & MWC - hand us a few too many losses and force us into a dark jersey seed (i.e. 9 or lower). A seed of 7 or higher and your chances of a sweet 16 spot are much higher. |

So.....let me see if I understand. UCLA will only consider playing us when they think we will be a "body bag" game? Losing to SDSU might hurt their blue chip image and local recruiting advantage? I say these prestigious institutions have been exposed and their high paid coaches are chickens**t. I have sat next to Bruin fans at the "Q" when they have played (slaughtered us) in football and can say confidently that they are the most unsportsmanlike people that I know of. The comments made by them were ugly and degrading during the game. Now they dodge us in basketball?

Anything less than a 6 seed and we are playing a 1 or 2 seed in the second round anyway so it doesn't matter. And losing the tough games isn't what will hurt our seeding ... it's the losses to lesser teams like Pacific, Wyoming or the blowouts at New Mexico (08) or St Marys (09) that kill us each year.
And although this should be our toughest ooc schedule by far .. I think Gonzaga is the only game we will not be favored in, or even-money in, and is really the only excusable loss. We might, and probably will, drop another ooc road game but the conference will be stronger and the team will have numerous opportunities to position themselves for a top seed in the dance. If they don't ... then we're probably not getting to the sweet 16 anyway, regardless of seeding.

I doubt Dan Guerrero was the one bad mouthing you at the football games....also, Steve Lavin hasn't been at UCLA in about seven years. Come on, you gotta be a little smarter than that in your posts. |

These are my thoughts on SDSU being a sweet 16 team. I have watch A TON of college basketball over a long period of time and I tend to think that in any given year there are probably 25 (some years maybe more, some less) that can legitimately aspire to the sweet 16. Just because we are one of the real contenders for this prestigious group does NOT mean that it will for sure happen. Many, many things have to go just right and along with the necessary talent a fair amount of good luck is required. With so many variables; schedule, which of our opponents get on a hot streak (individuals or teams), who beats who before they play us, illness, injuries at key positions at critical times, if we go all out defensively, the list goes on and on. I certainly don't think I am any kind of expert (and I am a huge optimist), but demanding a sweet 16 appearance because we are good is over the top. jmo

We will be good. Will we be "damn" good and sweet sixteen. I'll believe it when it happens and only then.

The whole team is back this year and we have depth this year unlike last year. Don't forget we add four good players to boot. We will be 10-11 deep. Sweet 16 this year my friend! I called it for the women last year and look what happened. |

If we're good enough to get a 5 or 6 seed, which I really think we should be .. we will likely play a 3 or 4 seed in the 2nd round (just to get to the sweet 16). Gonzaga is a team like we might face in that round. That's why the experience of that game is critical .. win or lose. If we can't beat them (or play them close) we can't get to the sweet 16. It will be a great early measuring stick.

It all comes down to 2 games against 2 damn good teams in order to make the sweet 16. I will say that I think we are good enough to make it, and at this point in Fisher's tenure I think we SHOULD be making occasional sweet 16 appearances. But predicting it is really hard to do. |

That's a great point tec. I'm hoping that this is the first of many years that we will be "in the running" for a deep tourney run. You never know.

My own opinion on this, and it ain't much, is that I think we will make the elite eight. With no injuries and no disciplinary problems, I really think it could be done with the nucleus we have and the bench strength.
Regardless, this will be fun to watch.

The worse team can win simply because personnel or style matchs up better with some teams. |
