SDSU men’s basketball notebook: To attack or not attack the paint

What began as a good idea quickly turned into poor execution for the San Diego State men’s basketball team.

Freshman point guard Jeremy Hemsley began play draining a 3-pointer from the top of the key. However, that would turn out to be more luck than trend.

“Early, we settled for a quick, OK shot, many of them long range,” SDSU head coach Steve Fisher said.

Thirteen of the Aztecs’ 22 first-half shots were from beyond the arc and they struggled to connect. After Hemsley’s opening 3-pointer SDSU would miss their next 11 shots from long range.
