The Aztecs needed a lot more than some Vegas luck against West Virginia in the Intercontinental Tire Invitational Championship. The Mountaineers defense crushed the Aztecs, to claim the tournament title with a 72-50 win.
It was a tale of 21 turnovers for the Aztecs that lead to 30 West Virginia points. The Aztecs had just seven points off 15 Mountaineer turnovers. But turnovers were not the only problem. SDSU shot 34.2 percent, making just 13 field goals. None of which came from their nine attempts from beyond the arc.
Freshman Jeremy Hemsley was the only Aztec to reach double figures in scoring with 14 points. He also led in rebounds for the Aztecs with four and tied for most assists with one. That’s right, just one assist was needed to lead the Aztecs. The Aztecs had three compared to the Mountaineers 12.
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, and the Aztecs may want to leave this loss there as they prepare to travel to Long Beach State on Tuesday. The Aztecs drop to 4-3 on the season.
