San Diego State went into Wednesday night’s matchup with Wyoming looking to avenge a stunning early-season loss on the road at the Cowboys’ Arena-Auditorium.

They got what they were looking for in the form of an 88-57 beat-down behind a monster game from Kawhi Leonard.

The freshman standout scored a career-high 26 points to go with 8 rebounds as the Aztecs (17-7, 6-4 MWC) recovered from a slow start to control the game.  Leonard described his mindset coming into the game, and how his teammates helped him achieve his career high.

 

Wyoming (9-15, 2-8 MWC) opened the game playing active defense and pushing the ball off of early Aztec turnovers. Hot Cowboys shooting and pressure on the ball set the early tone. SDSU trailed 25-19 before its athletic prowess took over.

But the Aztecs tied the game at 27 on a fast break that started with a Billy White (10 points, 3 rebounds) block and ended with a White dunk. They never looked back, taking an eight-point lead to the half.  Aztecs Head Coach Steve Fisher talked about this being one of the more complete games his team has played so far this season.

In the first round of play with the entire field on the South Course at Torrey Pines, scores held steady Saturday with second round co-leader Ryuji Imada taking the lead into the final round of the Farmers Insurance Open.

His 2-under 70 leaves him at 13-under through three rounds — two strokes better than Michael Sim and Ben Crane and four strokes ahead of Phil Mickelson, who had a wild ride for a 70 on Saturday.

It started for Mickelson when he hit two drives into the trees on hole seven after the first was stuck in an overhanging limb.

With the ball stuck in the tree but visible, Mickelson had a chance to save a stroke if the ball could be identified as his. After this was announced, a fan immediately attempted to scale up the tree to retrieve it but came up short.

“I lost a ball in a tree, and because of that, I had to identify it,” Mickelson said. “And if I could have, I could have dropped it right there, one-stroke penalty. But instead I had to go back to the tee box.” Continue Reading →

ShareThe Padres are giving Craig and Chris plenty to talk about.  Can the Padres carry their momentum into 2010, or is this late run a flash in the pan?  And has this been Kevin Towers’ best year as GM?
