SAN DIEGO - This Saturday when the No. 6/4 San Diego State men's basketball team plays host to No. 7/7 Brigham Young, fans are encouraged to wear black in an attempt to black out Viejas Arena. The first 2,500 students will receive black SDSU "It's Our Time" t-shirts.
The game, which tips off at 11 a.m. PT and will give the victor the upper hand in the regular-season title chase, features two teams ranked in the top 10 that have a total of three losses between them. The tilt will also feature two of the nation's top point guards in D.J. Gay and Jimmer Fredette. Both are finalists for the illustrious Bob Cousy award that is given annually to the top ball handler of the year.
Prior to the game, Jon Foreman the lead singer of the Grammy Award winning band Switchfoot will be performing a solo performance of the National Anthem. The Aztec Football team will also be recognized following its spectacular season, which ended in a 35-14 victory over Navy in the Poinsettia Bowl.
