Aztec Basketball Looks For Fourth Straight Win Wednesday At TCU
The road doesn't get any easier for the Aztec women's basketball team this week, as San Diego State travels to TCU on Wednesday evening for a 6:30 p.m. CT (4:30 p.m. PT) game at Daniel Meyer Coliseum in Fort Worth, Texas. SDSU is facing its third straight opponent in the top half of the league standings, after sweeping two games last week against a previously undefeated New Mexico squad and BYU, which entered the outing tied for third place with the Aztecs.
San Diego State (13-4, 4-1) has won each of its last three contests and nine of its last 10, with the only blemish being a six-point loss at first-place Utah in the opening week of conference play. The Aztecs are a perfect 9-0 at Cox Arena in 2008-09, and have the 16th-longest active home win streak at 11 games dating back to last season. Following last week's two wins, SDSU regained a vote for the fourth time this season in the Associated Press poll and has seen its RPI rise to as high as No. 45, according to Collegerpi.com.
The Aztecs, who are coming off a 20-point win at home against BYU last Saturday, will be looking for their first-ever victory at TCU this Wednesday. SDSU defeated the Lady Frogs for the first time since they joined the conference at the 2008 MWC championships in Las Vegas, overcoming a 10-point deficit to pull off a 69-67 win to advance to the tournament finale.
TCU is 12-7 on the year with huge wins over then No. 3 Maryland and No. 3 Cal. The Lady Frogs, however, have dropped five of their last nine contests, including a pair of league outings against BYU and New Mexico.
Wednesday's game will be televised live on The Mtn., with Erin Bajackson (play-by-play) and Andrea Lloyd (color) calling the action. There will also be a live audio feed with Chris Ello, along with live stats on goaztecs.com.
