Fans at Viejas Arena rose in unison and cheered wildly as San Diego State men’s basketball freshman forward Matt Mitchell exited the floor with just over four minutes to play in the Aztecs 94-63 victory over Eastern Illinois University.
Mitchell had been in a shooting slump, having shot just 2-for-18 from the field to start his Aztecs career coming into the game.
Consider the slump busted.
Mitchell scored 26 of his game-high 31 points in the second half, electrifying the crowd whenever he touched the ball while draining seven three pointers and shooting a blistering 10-for-14 from the field.
