SALT LAKE CITY — Head coach Steve Fisher and senior forward Winston Shepard both acknowledged that San Diego State lost to a “very good” University of Utah team. The Utes might not have Delon Wright, but look to be a more complete team this year especially with sophomore center Jakob Poeltl and junior forward Jordan Loveridge playing at the level they’re at.
If this game can be used as a barometer this early on, it might say the Aztecs are better than the 1-1 record they possess. They ran toe-to-toe with a Sweet 16 team that might be even better than it was last year.
