‘Twas the night before finals week. Not a person was sleeping, not even a soul.
Not even the San Diego State men’s basketball team.
After Monday’s win over Biola, redshirt-freshman forward Zylan Cheatham said the team hadn’t put two good halves together. Then Thursday night happened.
SDSU wrapped up a grueling portion of its non-conference with a thorough 84-47 dismantling of Nicholls State Thursday. The Aztecs had played seven games in 15 days prior to Thursday’s matchup with the Colonels.
The fatigue didn’t show at all. SDSU led 44-21 at halftime, then stormed out of the halftime gates on a 10-0 run to put the game to bed before comfortably closing its 37-point win, the largest margin of victory all season.
