Then-redshirt freshman forward Jalen McDaniels eyes the basket during the Aztecs' 94-56 victory over UNLV on Feb. 17 at Viejas Arena.
San Diego State men’s basketball has an embarrassment of riches. The start of a new year is right around the corner, and expectations are high for a group that returns key pieces from a squad fresh off an NCAA Tournament run.
The Aztecs appeared to hit their stride at the end of last season, winning nine straight games en route to a Mountain West Conference tournament championship and a trip to the Big Dance.
Notably, this year’s team returns senior point guard Devin Watson, sophomore forward Matt Mitchell and redshirt sophomore Jalen McDaniels.
