The Records:
After a nine-day break, the San Diego State women's basketball squad (2-3) returns to action this Sunday when it plays host to Wichita State (2-2) for a rare 1 p.m. tip-off. The Aztecs and Shockers meet for the second straight season, as the two sides faced on another in both schools' 2005-06 season opener in Wichita. The Shockers claimed the victory a year ago in an offensive battle, which saw the two sides combine for 170 points and 77 trips to the free-throw line.
The Wichita State contest begins a month-long stay for SDSU at Cox Arena, as it rounds out non-conference action with six games in December, capped by the two-day San Diego Surf `N Slam.
