SDSU down, but not out
The Aztecs are coming and well, the Utes had better be on their toes.
When the Mountain West Conference preseason poll came out, San Diego State was atop the list if only because it seemed to have more players returning than any other team in an open conference.
But through nonconference play, it was Air Force which distinguished itself, with a great start - the Falcons are 14-1 and haven't lost since mid-November.
San Diego played Air Force tough in a 65-62 loss last week. And they've got their best player back. Forward Marcus Slaughter was out since mid-December with a second-degree MCL tear.
There's no way the Aztecs (8-6, 1-1) are still the favorite to win the conference - really, it's too early to tell who it will be - but this much is certain: They'll be ready to play Wednesday.
