How far can San Diego St go?

**johnnygooble** · 01-16-20, 05:46 AM

When's the last time a non power 5 conference won the national title? Cant complain about not getting in the tournament. San Jose had them beat. With all the top ten teams losing this week I see SD st. going the way of Auburn. If they dont lose 2 or more out of their next ten then maybe you have something, but the Mountain West isnt that weak.

KP has SD St easily winning out the rest of regular season. The closest games expected are ones in which they are 7-8 pt favorites on the road (New Mex, Boise St, Nev). I'd be surprise if some team doesn't jump up and beat them in at least one game (San Jose close). It seems like teams eventually run into someone having a great night when they are having a bad one.

I'm not sure about deserving a #1 seed even if they go undefeated.
They've only played 3 top 50 teams so far (BYU, Creighton, Iowa) w/ the last two on neutral courts.

They may get #1 seed but I don't know if they'll deserve it.

Good luck.

They are better than you think. If you have not seen them play, it's hard to have an opinion. They are a true team, they are willing to make the extra pass and noone really cares who puts the ball in the bucket. They score way better than past SDSU squads. As of a couple days ago, 3 guys were shooting over 42% from 3 point range. Not sure if they will finish the season undefeated but they will be a very tough out in the tournament and possible final 4 squad.

Their going to move up again in the polls this week with top teams losing.Can only help their seeding come tourney time.From looking at sagarin they would only be a four or five point dog to duke on a neutral court .Still a great hedge if it got thar far.

**JAKEPEAVY21** · 01-18-20, 03:22 PM

A key player, Nathan Mensah, might not return this season. He has been out for a couple of weeks with a respiratory ailment.

My guess is that they will get a #2 seed even if they run the table.

**beefcake** · 01-19-20, 09:36 AM

Good info sir!

Well they pretty much controlled nevada in the second half .Thats a good sign..I still think they will lose 1 down the stretch and as soon as they do will get pummelled by the committee come selection day and get a 2 seed.Question is can they run the table and stay out of Gonzagas region .Id rather have them as a 1 seed in a diff region myself.Still long way to go.

**SBR Drew** · 01-19-20, 09:41 AM

All the way! This year it is wide open.. no clear cut favs .. SDSU can make it to the title.

Yes sir! Up to #4 now in rankings!

**PaperTrail07** · 01-22-20, 01:10 PM

Nice snag on that ticket----would love to have that in my pocket!!

**beefcake** · 01-25-20, 04:47 PM

20-0 and now lunardi has them as a #1 seed in the midwest.

Tough game vs UNLV TOMM though.One game at a time.

**beefcake** · 01-29-20, 05:58 PM

-10.5 at THE PIT tonight..man tonights game scares me

**beefcake** · 02-17-20, 07:28 AM

Still rolling!

**juicername** · 02-17-20, 08:37 AM

Pretty far.

**cankid** · 02-18-20, 07:18 AM

Nice run ��

**johnnyvegas13** · 02-18-20, 09:26 AM

It looks like it's a longshot for Mensah to return this season. The thing that worries me is they get 95% of their production from the starters and the bench is very thin now. Hoping to avoid foul trouble/injuries.

At 750-1 he can hedge every round of the tournament if he wants to (though I would personally wait until after the first round).

Think they are the best team in the country and will cut down the nets with Mensah. I mean they can still make a run but agree with this, mensah is key. Great price on 750/1 . I got on at 40/1 and thought i did good.

**teecee** · 02-18-20, 11:30 AM

Bracketology has them as a no. 1 seed. I think Michigan would beat them in rd 2 in their scenario.

If u have lottery odds u wait till the ff and bet big once or twice

Could b weakest 1 seed imo

I don’t necessarily disagree, but it also depends on how much we’re talking about. My point is simply that there are a lot of options to guarantee a profit on the bet. Nice position to be in.

True... however watching Kansas last night, I see them more superior than SDSU. Big 10 also has some beast teams.

I honestly don’t see the MW good this year at all.

In this case u could hedge elite eight since his odds r so high

But normally I shouldn't hedge ur futures till ff imo

**Sharpes** · 02-18-20, 02:00 PM

I'm sitting on sweet seats for the West Coast regional final at Staples. Hoping the cards fall right and we somehow get Gonzaga/SDSU.

Aztecs are the real deal. Elite defense and multiple scoring options. Plus a PG w attitude.

Either way, look for us on TV - whole fam will be in Kobe/Mamba jerseys paying our belated respects.

Kansas is the best team in the country to date. I would select them to win the title if asked today.

I mean they got rained on 3’s against them and still covered -17 point spread. WOW.

Solid then 2nd half they slowed the rain down huge. Giving up only 31 2nd half.

**beefcake** · 02-23-20, 03:37 PM

Well first loss...Hope it doenst kill their seeding. Id rather have them be in the west as a #2 seed as the regional is in LA..short drive up from SD..

**beefcake** · 02-23-20, 03:39 PM

Well I put 5.00 on them at 750-1..so no lotto money but hey 3750 aint bad...Def will hedge if they make the FF

**PaperTrail07** · 02-24-20, 05:10 PM

Agree....they got it all....

Well I watched the second half of sd st nevada.Sd st is good.Have a great post player too.They might get back that injured guy for the tourney.Figures they lose one game and they drop to 20-1 currently.That a bunch of bull.You could make an argument their better than every team but KU IMO.

**JAKEPEAVY21** · 03-02-20, 04:40 PM

SDSU is playing their worst ball of the season. I must admit, I'm not that optimistic headed into the tournament.

They're just overrated. That's why you are disappointed. They are still a decent team. Just enjoy watching them play and leave it at that.

I'm starting to feel that way. I might start hedging my emotions and fading them starting after the 1st round of the big dance.
