Contender

The final score of the final game of the decade was San Diego State 89, Pomona-Pitzer 54.

To SDSU Coach Steve Fisher there have been more important scores. They include: San Diego State 63, Arizona 46…Brigham Young 81, Arizona State 68…New Mexico 86, California 78…UNLV 76, Louisville 71…Utah 60, Illinois 58.

“You look at some of the wins our conference has posted during this non-conference season,” said Fisher after his team completed its non-conference slate by pulling away from the Division 1-AA Sagehens in the second half Thursday and improving its record to 11-3.

“We all know how good of a conference we’re in. Maybe this will be the year that we get three and maybe four teams into the NCAA Tournament.”

Had that been the case a year ago, SDSU would have gone dancing. But it wasn’t, and with only two Mountain West teams chosen for the NCAA’s, the Aztecs had to settle for the NIT despite a school-record 26 victories.
