Kindred: Aztecs were better, and Redbirds long to be

Kindred

The guys in retro red and white obliged, forcing San Diego State to settle for a contested 3-point attempt with the shot clock under five.

There were a lot of other possessions and plays in ISU's 75-65 loss to the Aztecs in the Mountain West-Missouri Valley Challenge Series. None told the tale of this day better than that single trip down Doug Collins Court.

The Redbirds were beaten on the boards (47-36). They were beaten to the spot. They were beaten by a team that was longer, faster and more athletic.

They didn't want to hear it afterward and that's a good thing.
