SAN DIEGO -
SDSU Men's Basketball Preseason Accolades in PDF Format
The San Diego State men's basketball team has been picked to win the 2011 Mountain West Conference championship by Yahoo! Sports.
The website has the Aztecs finishing atop the nine-team league and has tabbed sophomore Kawhi Leonard as a first-team all-Mountain West selection.
Leonard was also the feature story leading up to the website's MWC predictions. Yahoo! Sports' Jeff Eisenberg, who writes the college basketball blog "The Dagger," caught up with the 2010 all-MWC first-team choice recently as the 2010-11 season rapidly approaches.
The Aztecs return nine letterwinners and all five starters from last season's 25-9 team. Head Coach Steve Fisher's team is one of just four 2010 NCAA Tournament teams that returns its entire starting lineup in 2010-11.
SDSU enters the 2010-11 season fresh off one of its most successful efforts after winning the MWC tournament crown, advancing to the NCAA Tournament and compiling a 25-9 record. The Scarlet and Black have won 20 or more games and advanced to the postseason five consecutive seasons. San Diego State inches toward the `10-11 season with much anticipation as it is ranked No. 22 in Lindy's Sports preseason magazine, No. 23 in Dick Vitale's preseason poll and No. 24 in Andy Katz's rankings. ESPN.com's Pat Forde and FoxSports.com's Jeff Goodman, meanwhile, have tabbed the Aztecs as one of their top teams heading into `10-11.
