When Paul George steps into Cox Arena this weekend, he’s going to see a few familiar faces.
Today, the San Diego State women’s basketball team will head across the country, play the No. 1 ranked team in the nation and possibly get blown out on national television.
But it couldn’t feel more fortunate.
A loss on Senior Night to 5-6 UNLV would not only be disheartening, but would put an exclamation point on one of the worst seasons in the San Diego State football team’s history. SDSU has already lost double-digit games for the first time in school history, is on a seven-game losing streak – the longest such streak in 25 years – and is in danger of going winless in conference play for the first time since 1960.
Aztecs play home finale against Air Force tonight
In his long career as head coach of the San Diego State volleyball team, Mark Warner has learned there are certain steps a team needs to take in order to win.
For 35 minutes, it was difficult to tell which team came into Cox Arena last night basking in the national spotlight.
Then, Arizona State forward Rihards Kuksiks hit a 3-pointer to tie it. Then, guard James Harden drained one to take the lead. Then, Kuksiks made another.
Using a barrage of late 3-pointers and an 18-3 run down the stretch, No. 15 ASU beat the San Diego State men’s basketball team 59-52 in front of 7,966 fans.
San Diego State swimming and diving head coach Mike Shrader has a master’s degree in exercise and sports science and a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Texas A&M University.
It’s a shame he hardly uses his master’s.
After beating Division II UCSD, SDSU faces a much greater challenge in ASU

Coming into this season, fans of the San Diego State women’s basketball team had high expectations.
But after the first two games of the season, their hopes are likely to get even higher.
With sophomore forward Allison Duffy and junior guard Jené Morris both out of the lineup for the first two regular season games, SDSU’s newcomers and bench players rose to the challenge and helped get the Aztecs off to their second-straight 2-0 start.
After defeating Northwestern State 67-47 on Friday, the Aztecs traveled up Interstate 5 to face Long Beach State in the 49ers season opener at the Walter Pyramid on Sunday.
Jerica Williams made her first career starts this weekend as she began her Aztec career after sitting out last season because of NCAA regulations when she left UCLA following the 2006-07 season. The sophomore guard struggled from behind the arc on Friday, but found her shot against LBSU.
SDSU gets pounded by the No. 7 Utes and loses by 49 at home
If the lopsided stat sheet didn’t tell the whole story of Saturday night’s game, then Utah senior Brent Casteel’s postgame reaction certainly did.
The end could not come fast enough for the San Diego State men’s soccer team. Playing host to No. 15 UCLA (10-4-6, 7-1-2 in Pac-10 play), SDSU (6-9-3, 3-4-3) was embarrassed by a bigger and faster Bruins team. With a 6-1 loss, the Aztecs’ mediocre season came to an end on Saturday afternoon.
Trailing the Division II Tritons at halftime, SDSU heats up after the break
As shots were clanking and the crowd started groaning, the San Diego State men’s basketball team couldn’t help but feel a bit restless.
Throughout the 2008 season, the San Diego State cross country team has had two constants in every event it has competed in: senior co-captain Kristin Glen leading the way, and having its runners break personal-bests over and over. Both stayed true for SDSU’s effort at the NCAA West Regionals in Palo Alto on Saturday.
One man’s good fortune is another man’s bad luck.
Case and point: head coach Mark Warner’s San Diego State volleyball team.
SDSU (8-17, 5-10 Mountain West Conference play) took on MWC rivals Wyoming (8-17, 5-10 in MWC) on Saturday in Laramie, Wyo, losing 3-1.
GENDER: MALE BRAINS: MATT THOMAS Senior guard Matt Thomas returns after receiving another year of eligibility because of a back injury that ended his 2006-07 season after two games. This is his fifth season at SDSU, and he’s played in 88 career games.
The Aztecs are still trying to find a way to replace star forward Lorrenzo Wade

When his body turned against him, Kelvin Davis faced an opponent only he could fight
It’s nearing 8 a.m. and Kelvin Davis is already tired.
He knows what today entails – a four-hour visit to the doctor’s office that will be filled with needles and medication.
Jené Morris wasn’t happy at Berkeley but SDSU welcomed her with open arms
In 2006, Jené Morris was playing in her first year at Cal, having one of the best freshman seasons in the entire Pac-10 Conference. Morris started the majority of the games for the Golden Bears and helped them earn an automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament, their first appearance since 1993. She was one of the most promising players on a rapidly improving team in a well-respected conference. On the surface, things couldn’t have been going better for Morris.
As 28-point underdogs, the prognosticators are already predicting a Utah blowout this Saturday. However, don’t write off the 1-9 San Diego State football team just yet. Playing with nothing to lose this weekend, SDSU might just have a chance against the No. 8 Utes.
SDSU hits 12-of-22 triples against Point Loma in its easy exhibition victory

While running back to play defense, the senior forward did something rarely seen on the court.
He was beaming from ear to ear.
Saturday should be about as intense a game as you’ll see from the San Diego State men’s soccer team.

Blocking, offensive pressure key for SDSU victory
The last time the San Diego State volleyball team played No. 16 Colorado State, SDSU’s players were left with a bad taste in their mouths.
Aztecs cruise to victory behind the sophomore midfielder's three goals
Sophomore Raymundo Reza pulled a little something special out of his bag of tricks on Sunday.
Playing in a non-conference match against the visiting Cal State Bakersfield Roadrunners, the San Diego State men’s soccer team star recorded his first-career hat trick, as SDSU rolled to a 4-0 victory on a windy Sunday afternoon. The Aztecs have won three games in a row and are unbeaten in the past four.
What do you get when you cross the “team mom” with the most consistent talent on the San Diego State cross country team? The end result is the two senior co-captains, Anne Vieira and Kristin Glen.
Three fumbles and an interception lead to 24 Cougar points

Nothing is worse than falling back into bad habits.
Just ask the San Diego State volleyball team.
As if losing to 3-6 Wyoming this past Saturday wasn’t bad enough, now the San Diego State football team has to travel to Provo, Utah — a place where it hasn’t won in the last three attempts — to play No. 15 BYU.
SDSU takes on CSU Bakersfield coming off two Pac-10 wins
With just two games to go in a season lost to injuries and inconsistencies, the San Diego State men’s soccer team won’t be playing for a title or a tournament birth the rest of the season. Instead, SDSU will turn its attention to playing for perhaps an athlete’s greatest motivational tool: pride.
Taking on top-25 team will be no easy task for SDSU
Coming off its biggest win of the year, the San Diego State volleyball team knew it had to avoid being complacent.
Over the past two and half months, it has been on the mind of each player on the San Diego State women’s soccer team.
It is what the top six teams in the conference have been waiting for since the first whistle was blown in late August.

SDSU again finds itself struggling with its ground game on both sides of ball
While most people were taking a break from their jobs and relaxing during the weekend, Saturday was business as usual for the San Diego State football team, as its inability to effectively run the ball or stop the run sealed its fate once again.
Despite falling to TCU 2-1, SDSU qualifies for the MWC Tournament
The San Diego State women’s soccer team has faced a multitude of obstacles over the course of this season.
Whether it has been injuries to key players, tough road trips or just bad breaks, SDSU has struggled to find the success it had last year.
SDSU defeats the Rebels in four sets to split the season series with one win each
In a two-game season series between two teams, the second matchup always carries some added importance with a potential sweep at stake.
Despite hosting the final MWC race, Aztecs’ finish leaves much to be desired
Home field advantage is one of the most coveted things in sports.
Sleeping in their own beds and competing for their home crowd can give any group of players a huge boost, especially in a championship event.
But when the team can’t get it done at home, the loss is even more disappointing.
While the San Diego State football team’s record may have dropped to 1-7 with a four-point loss to Colorado State this past weekend, the team’s inspired play has head coach Chuck Long excited about Saturday’s matchup against Wyoming.
Lev Kirshner thought his squad had defined an all-time low last year when the San Diego State men’s soccer team won just one of its final eight games.
Riker looks to make noise on senior night
For Jillian Riker, her first two years on the San Diego State women’s soccer team weren’t as eventful as the senior would have liked.
The Aztecs look for revenge against the Rebels
Even though this is his final season and his team is six games under .500, don’t try to tell Mark Warner his team is finished.
With the regular season over and the Mountain West Conference Championships up next, the San Diego State cross country team has a trio of benefits working in its favor: momentum, home-field advantage and confidence.
Lobos beat Aztecs in straight sets
Losing 25-23 in three straight sets to a conference rival would be a heartbreaker for most teams.
But for the San Diego State volleyball team, sometimes it’s a step in the right direction.
The San Diego State swimming and diving team picked up two victories against New Mexico and Air Force on Saturday, while dropping its third match to Colorado State. SDSU participated in a four-team meet at the Aztec Aquaplex. The two victories and one loss put the Aztecs at 2-2 overall and in Mountain West Conference play.
To say the San Diego State men’s soccer team hasn’t had great success in the Pacific Northwest would be a vast understatement.
Aztecs put up their second highest point total of the year but still fall to Rams
The outcome of the game was familiar enough.
It was another solemn march into the locker room, another night without celebration and another tally in the loss column as the San Diego State football team fell to Colorado State, 38-34.

Admit it; you were waiting.
Waiting for the San Diego State football team to be the squad it has been all season long.
Waiting for SDSU to find some way to implode on themselves and crawl into a hole.
Waiting for an onslaught of points from a Colorado State team averaging just 19.8 points per game entering Saturday.
Strong defensive effort sets up Aztecs for win, but poor shooting forces a deadlock
Coming into this season, the San Diego State women’s soccer team had its sights set high.
The 70-7 beatdown the San Diego State football team suffered this past Saturday to New Mexico in Albuquerque, N.M., was one of the worst losses in SDSU history. The 63-point shellacking marked the first time in Aztec history that an SDSU team had given up 70 or more points in a game. After the match, a subdued head coach Chuck Long called the game embarrassing and at Tuesday’s press conference, he offered an apology.

The senior forward has found success despite suffering two knee injuries in her career
Anytime an athlete goes down with a season-ending injury, the road to recovery is never easy.
Nobody knows that better than San Diego State women’s soccer midfielder Alicia Piz.
Despite being swept in seven matches this year, the San Diego State volleyball team has become a model of resiliency.
Tonight, that quality will be put on national display as SDSU takes on Mountain West Conference foe TCU at 5 p.m. in Fort Worth, Texas.
Great athletes never shy away from pressure; they covet it.
At least that’s the philosophy San Diego State men’s golf team head coach Ryan Donovan preaches to all of his players.
Because the vast majority of this section’s readers barely skim the actual content en route to the sudoku puzzle, a lot of information goes largely unread.
But one thing that probably stood out to anyone who picked up Monday’s paper was the score box in the football recap that read, “New Mexico 70, San Diego State 7.”

This weekend added insult to injury for the San Diego State men’s soccer team.
With SDSU missing some of its key players, the Aztecs dropped their Pac-10 home-opening games against Oregon State and No. 23 Washington by identical 2-1 counts on Friday and Sunday, respectively. The losses drop SDSU from second to fourth place in the competitive conference.
All teams face obstacles and setbacks throughout the rigors of an entire season, but what separates a good team from a great team is its ability to overcome the adversity it faces.
So when the San Diego State women’s soccer team started off Mountain West Conference play with a 0-3 record, its players knew they had a tough road ahead.
SDSU suffers 63-point beatdown by MWC rival New Mexico
Pick a negative adjective. Any one will do.
Terrible? Atrocious? Horrifying?
“Embarrassed,” San Diego State football head coach Chuck Long said to AM 600 KOGO. “I’m embarrassed for us and for our football team.”

Despite losing to CSU in straight sets, SDSU finds positives in solid play
The San Diego State volleyball team has been searching for the positives in its numerous disappointing losses this year, and in its loss to a Mountain West Conference rival on Saturday, they weren’t too hard to find.
Record setting has been a trend for the San Diego State cross country team, as runners have set sixteen personal-best times so far this season.
In its last match before conference competition starts, the team had eight out of nine runners set personal-best times at the Bronco Invitational in Sunnyvale on Saturday.
If the San Diego State football team wasn’t in complete disarray before last Saturday’s 35-10 loss to Air Force, it certainly is now. SDSU now ranks 100th or worse in 11 NCAA statistical categories including dead last in the nation in rushing defense, 112th in total offense, 109th in total defense and 117th in third-down conversion percentage.

SDSU's volleyball head coach talks about the season and retirement
Walk into Peterson Gym and it’s hard not to notice the many championship banners that have been silently watching over San Diego State volleyball teams for years.

Oregon State and Washington bring Pac-10 tests
Matt Hall knows this situation all too well.
With the San Diego State men’s soccer team playing well in the midst of Pac-10 play, watching goalkeeper Brad Byrns go down again with an injury this past weekend against California must have evoked feelings of last year for the goalkeeper coach. The team was in first place in the Pac-10 last season when Byrns broke his elbow. The team was fractured from the loss of its backline leader and never recovered.

Vandevanter excited to have Walker and Gordon back on field
When San Diego State women’s soccer forward Jessica Gordon went down with a groin injury in 2007, it appeared to be just another setback for an SDSU squad already missing it’s captain, Cat Walker.
Senior co-captain Anne Vieira hopes to carry momentum
There are plenty of obstacles that can derail even the best of runners.
Sore legs and tired bodies are just a few, but one of the most difficult to overcome is the mental aspect of running.
Ranked 77th in the nation in recent polls, San Diego State is trying to string together some successful tournaments in order to maintain and improve its current position. SDSU is involved in simultaneous tournaments this week; the NMSU Price’s “Give ‘Em Five” Invitational in Las Cruces, N.M., and the Aztec Fall Classic in Chula Vista. The “A”-team is facing several ranked teams in Las Cruces today as the team heads into the final round in 12th place.
After struggling through pre-conference schedule, SDSU is on a hot-streak
It was a scenario that senior goalkeeper Jorge Rosales knew all too well. On Sunday, sophomore starting goalkeeper Brad Byrns left the game because of an injury and it was up to Rosales to keep his team in the game.
Coming out of an off weekend, with conference matches less than a month away and a hometown crowd cheering it on, the San Diego State cross country team was looking to increase its confidence and receive a boost as the season winded down.
SDSU received all it needed as it finished with a third overall finish and four personal records at the Triton Classic in La Jolla on Saturday.
Even head coach Chuck Long, normally Mr. Optimistic, couldn’t paint this one in a positive light.
In front of 43,630 fans at Qualcomm Stadium on Saturday night, the San Diego State football team blew a 10-7 halftime lead and completely fell apart on both sides of the ball in the second half, losing to Air Force, 35-10.

Rush for more than 380 yards in consecutive weeks against his defense, tag him after the whistle, or even try to block him with your biggest offensive lineman.
Anything you do to Corey Boudreaux won’t matter. The San Diego State football team’s safety will do the only thing he knows how to do: fight back.
Aztecs earn split decision in weekend conference matchups in trip to Utah
For some teams, getting out-blocked, out-killed and out-digged would be all the makings of a bad day.
To the San Diego State volleyball team, it’s just a hiccup on the road to improvement.
SDSU (5-11) lost to Mountain West Conference rival Utah (13-4) on Saturday in Salt Lake City in four sets, 21-25, 25-14, 25-18, 25-15.
Falling to TCU by a score of 41-7 was a big blow for the San Diego State football team, but the biggest loss coming out of last Saturday’s defeat was quarterback Ryan Lindley. The redshirt freshman was ridden out of bounds by Horned Frog linebacker Daryl Washington and landed awkwardly on his throwing shoulder, causing him to miss the final three quarters of the game. Lindley’s injured wing has been feeling better, but it still may cause him to miss Saturday’s game against Air Force.
Inter Milan’s legendary midfielder Patrick Vieira plays the game of soccer with such intensity and passion that he has become one of the most respected athletes in the world. The French captain gives his all in every game he plays and has 40 career goals to boot.
For these reasons, San Diego State men’s soccer team defender Jamel Wallace emulates Vieira in every aspect of his game.
Last year, the San Diego State women’s soccer team was poised for a breakout season.
Mike Friesen had just taken over as head coach, four talented freshmen had just joined the team and 18 letter winners were returning.
But one player in particular, midfielder Cat Walker, was one of the big reasons for the high expectations. The sophomore was coming off a true freshman season in which she started 17 games and scored three goals.

BYU and Utah up next for SDSU
Its record shows six games under .500.
A 4-10 mark with just one win in Mountain West Conference play has the San Diego State volleyball team’s season looking very disappointing.
But while the marks in the win-loss columns don’t show it, SDSU has demonstrated skills good enough to at least be contenders in the MWC.
Senior co-captain of the San Diego State cross country team Anne Vieira knows how important rest is for a runner.
It can heal tired legs, cure weary minds and most importantly, give a sprinter time to relax.
So when SDSU had its bye week last week, Vieira and her team took full advantage of the time off.
Captains lead a team full of freshmen
Football season may be the main focus of sports on campus, but the San Diego State swimming and diving team is attempting to make some noise as well.
The season is just around the corner, and SDSU is chomping at the bit to get started. The Aztecs face off against Utah at 3 p.m. Saturday at the Aztec Aquaplex.
Milana Yusupov is no stranger to competition.
The San Diego State women’s tennis team player has battled with the best in her three-year SDSU career and has recorded numerous victories against big-time opponents.
So when the Aztecs took on powerhouse schools such as Michigan, Arizona and San Diego in the SDSU Fall Classic over the weekend at the Aztec Tennis Center, Yusupov took the competition in stride.
The San Diego State men’s soccer team’s late collapse last year and this season’s slow start have both been well documented. But no player can tell the story better than goalkeeper Brad Byrns.

In a season that has seen some inconsistencies and mistakes lead to a sub-.500 start going into conference play, the San Diego State women’s soccer team has been able to rely on one thing: solid play at home.
Redshirt freshman quarterback Ryan Lindley, arm in a sling, wincing as he rotated an ice bag around his injured throwing shoulder pretty much told the whole story of Saturday night’s loss to TCU.
The Horned Frogs pounded the San Diego State football team, 41-7, at Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth, Texas. The young SDSU quarterback’s injury was just the first of many disappointments in an all-around frustrating night.
Although San Diego State was blown out by TCU this weekend, the increasingly BCS-worthy Mount West Conference had its share of close games:
Aztecs lose third straight conference game, falling to UNLV in Las Vegas
Coming into Friday’s matchup against UNLV, most of the pregame chatter was about how the Runnin’ Rebels style would hurt the San Diego State volleyball team.
But in reality, the only thing hurting SDSU Friday night was itself.
The Aztecs (4-10, 1-3 in Mountain West Conference play) took on UNLV (10-7, 3-1 in MWC play) in Las Vegas, and lost in four sets (25-20, 18-25, 25-23, 25-19).
Coming off its first victory of the season against Idaho last Saturday, the San Diego State football team won't have much time to celebrate as it heads to Texas to play Mountain West Conference rival TCU this weekend.
"TCU is an excellent football team," head coach Chuck Long said. "Everybody is talking about BYU and Utah, but I don't know why they aren't talking about TCU. They are excellent on both sides of the football and have a number of returners back from last year."
The Horned Frogs will head into this Saturday's matchup fresh off a loss to No. 1 Oklahoma last weekend. The Sooners scored 35 points against a TCU defense which has allowed just 233.6 yards per game this season.
Bruins host Aztecs to kick-off Pac-10 play
Morgan Maestas doesn't need anyone to tell him about the national championship factory that is UCLA.
"It's like a legacy - everyone knows UCLA," Maestas said. "Even if you're not an athlete you know what UCLA's about. Everyone knows them. No matter who you are when you play UCLA you're there for a reason."
The redshirt freshman goalkeeper and the rest of the San Diego State men's soccer team will try to make a bold statement this weekend when they travel north to take on the Bruins.
UNLV poses unique challenge for Aztecs
It's not often a team gets swept and still considers it a step forward.
For the San Diego State volleyball team, though, that's exactly what happened.
SDSU lost to TCU Saturday in straight sets but showed signs of improvement and consistency.
Tomorrow, the Aztecs (4-9) will be looking to continue that trend by taking on Mountain West Conference rivals UNLV (9-7) at 7 p.m. in Las Vegas.
Rebel goalkeeper Alicia Lugo brings tough defense to San Diego
So far this season, the San Diego State women's soccer team has faced some difficult opponents, but has repeatedly found a way to stay in the game and compete.
This perseverance has been key for SDSU's development as a team, but in head coach Mike Friesen's mind, it is still missing one more important quality.
"(UNLV is) a very confident team and I think that's been something we've been missing a little bit," Friesen said. "They're a team that isn't the most talented team in the conference, but they're hardworking, they're confident in their abilities, they know who they are and they're very good about playing within their own game."
Ask Eric Miclot how many surgeries he's had on his left knee and the answer is surprising.
"I think four," he says after pondering for a second, "or maybe five."
The San Diego State football team's tight end has seen so many setbacks in his road to a full recovery from a devastating knee injury that he can't even tell you how many times he's been on the operating table.
The San Diego State men's tennis team could form a small-scale United Nations if it was necessary.
With half of its players born internationally, the team is composed of Russian, German, Ecuadoran, Israeli, and of course, American descents.
In no way, though, is this diversity by coincidence. After all, seven of the NCAA Division I men's tennis current top-10 players were born outside of the United States.
San Diego State swimming and diving head coach Mike Shrader knows a little something about rebuilding a team.
After losing several key contributors from last year's squad, SDSU has reloaded and is poised for another big season this year.
"You have to start with a strong foundation and good work ethic, then go from there," Shrader said.
According to the scoreboard, San Diego State lost the game.
But if you ask the SDSU players and coaches, the day was far from a failure.
The Aztec men's soccer team fell to No. 18 Dartmouth 1-0 in New Hampshire on Sunday afternoon, but it might have been the best overall game the team put together all season.
There are coaches who micromanage, harping on the details and each player's specific instructions.
Then there is Mike Friesen, head coach of the San Diego State women's soccer team.
After a season of inconsistencies, Friesen took his own approach this weekend during the halftime meeting in a game against San Jose State at the SDSU Sports Deck.
Against lowly Idaho, SDSU gets win thanks to strong performance from offense
It was a home game, coming off of a bye, against one of the worst teams in the country.
It was a game it was supposed to win.
But for the first time all season, the San Diego State football team actually lived up to expectations, routing Idaho at Qualcomm Stadium, 45-17.
Atiyyah Henderson gets first 100-yard game since facing Cal Poly in 2006
Maybe it was the jersey change from No. 21 to No. 6.
Maybe it was the injuries that kept him out of several games the past two years. Or maybe it was the San Diego State football team's offensive philosophy shifting to a pass-first scheme.
Whatever it was, junior running back Atiyyah Henderson seemed to be a forgotten man in the SDSU offense. So much so that even Idaho head coach Robb Akey couldn't call the running back who torched his Vandal defense repeatedly Saturday night by name.
Inconsistent Aztecs fall short in a dissapointing weekend in Palo Alto
Three weekends, three events, 15 kilometers. Those daunting statistics sum up the past three merciless weeks for the San Diego State cross country team.
