SDSU Game Notes at TCU in PDF Format
The San Diego State women's basketball team will look for a fresh start Saturday as the second round of Mountain West Conference regular-season play begins with the Aztecs traveling to Ft. Worth, Texas to take on TCU at Daniel-Meyer Coliseum. The contest is scheduled to begin at noon PT/2 p.m. CT and will be televised live on The Mtn. with Chuck LaMendola calling the action for the TCU produced broadcast.
The Aztecs will look to avenge a 49-47 loss to the Horned Frogs back on Jan. 5 in San Diego in a game that went down to the final seconds. SDSU is playing five of its final eight conference outings on the road and is looking to end a current four-game losing streak, which includes yet another close defeat this time to Colorado State (56-51) on Wednesday. The Aztecs are currently in a four-way tie for sixth place in the MWC at 2-6, with the six losses coming by a combined 31 points.
TCU enters Saturday's 17th all-time meeting currently tied for second place with Wyoming at 6-2 in the league standings. The Horned Frogs will be seven days removed from dropping their second consecutive outing, losing on the road at Air Force (60-55) after falling at home vs. New Mexico (65-54). Those two losses came against league foes that were a combined 1-10 in MWC play entering the contest and ended TCU's eight-game win streak.
SDSU will be looking for its first-ever victory in Ft. Worth, but has earned a split in the regular-season series between the two foes each of the last two years. The contest will be streamed live (audio only) with Chris Ello calling the action courtside, while in-game stats will also be available on goaztecs.com.
