On Monday night, the Aztecs men’s basketball team has an opportunity to log a postseason resume building win against a power five team currently ranked just outside the top 25. For the Aztecs this is as close to a must win as there is.
With the current state of the Mountain West, the top tier teams, like SDSU, need to build a resume of good non-conference wins because there aren’t going to be any opportunities to log wins during the conference slate that the committee will deem resume worthy.
The Aztecs missed a big opportunity when they were dismantled at Gonzaga, but they have a great opportunity to rectify that against Cal and show the committee that they are a team deserving of being in the field of 68.
