San Diego State forward Malik Pope was a key reason to why the Aztecs defeated Boise State 87-68 in the quarterfinals of the Mountain West tournament as he scored a season-high 22 points and pulled down 10 rebounds.
Pope had a scare late in the game and fell to the ground and held his left knee. After the game, Pope said that he had a "minor hyper-extension" of his left knee, and said he would be fine to play against No. 2 Colorado State.
Well... not so fast. Pope is considered a game-time decision.
