San Diego State (9-3) closes out the year 2008 with the final contest of a three-game homestand on Monday against first-time opponent Arkansas-Pine Bluff (1-9). The Aztecs, who will begin their 10th season of Mountain West Conference play on Jan. 3 at Air Force, will take on the Golden Lions inside Cox Arena at 7:00 p.m. PT. There is no television coverage for the event, but the game can be heard on AM 600 KOGO with Ted Leitner calling the action.
SDSU will be looking to extend its winning streak to three games after defeating its second straight Big West Conference opponent in Cal State Northridge, 72-56, back on Dec. 22 before the holiday break. Arkansas-Pine Bluff, meanwhile, will look to stop a two-game losing skid in what will be its final game of a season-opening 11-game road trip.
Game Tidbits:
