Men’s basketball notes: SDSU’s historically bad first half and Pope’s shot choice

There are games when a team has an occasional off night. With San Diego State’s men’s basketball team, those off nights come in the forms of off-halves of basketball.

The first half of SDSU’s 53-48 loss to University of San Diego, on Sunday afternoon at Petco Park in a highly promoted event, was historically awful.

The numbers:

Thirteen points, three made field goals out of 20 and seven turnovers. USD’s smaller, yet more aggressive lineup swept SDSU away on the rebounds to the tone of a 24-12 advantage.

The context?

“If you want to keep going back, I had a JV team that didn’t score a point in a half,” a frustrated Steve Fisher said after the game.
