SALT LAKE CITY–Nineteen seconds.
That’s how long it took for the whistle-savvy officiating crew to call a foul on Monday night. The foul was on San Diego State men’s basketball senior center Skylar Spencer who was doing as any good post player would do: not back down against University of Utah sophomore big man Jakob Poeltl.
In perhaps SDSU fans’ first glimpse of what’s to come this season, the Aztecs found themselves in foul trouble, limiting their bench down the stretch when they needed it most in a 81-76 road loss against the No. 16-ranked Runnin’ Utes.
