Great defense and offense to clash in SDSU men’s basketball second round NIT matchup vs. Washington

It’s one of the most hotly contested questions throughout the basketball world:

Can a good defense stop a good offense?

That question will be on display Monday night as the San Diego State men’s basketball team takes on University of Washington in the second round of the NIT at Viejas Arena.

Going into the contest, Washington owns the sixth-best scoring offense in the country (84.1 PPG) while SDSU has the No. 3 scoring defense, holding opponents to 60.1 points per game.

Something’s got to give.

SDSU will look to avenge an ugly 49-36 loss to UW last season on Dec.
