9:45 the Aztecs actually do have an elite shot blocker in Nathan Mensah (6’10, with a 7’5 wingspan). He was in their starting 5 for the first 10-15 games of the season, but has been sidelined with a respiratory infection for the past couple months. There’s a chance he’ll be able to return at some point before the NCAA Tourney... if so, their defense will be even better than it’s been in conference play.

After 5 minutes in, I realized this video was "A Guide On How To Beat The Aztecs".

Channel is so underrated fr! You have a great basketball knowledge.

That pack line defense is crazy we ran it in high school

Awesome stuff, I normally like rooting for SDSU. I didn’t know too much about the team this year but it’s nice to learn more about them.

So glad I found your schedule man! Great insight, and looking forward to all your videos in the future!

I just found this channel randomly, and am so glad I did! You have an incredible knowledge for the game and deserve so much more recognition!! Please continue to make videos on other top teams!

Just discovered this channel/site yesterday. I've always wanted something like this for any sport. For it to exist for college basketball (my favorite) has me super excited. Just subscribed to HV+ and can't wait to follow along for the rest of the year, woooooooo!

Thank you for this wonderful scouting report!

I saw them play against BSU in Boise and damn they are impressive

Interesting video, I've never looked that far into the Aztecs' strategies, so it was interesting to see. As for good wins: Creighton, Iowa, BYU all ranked. Creighton second in the big east, and just beat two top ten teams on the road, so they've been a great team. SDSU didn't just win, they won by 31. They Not only beat Iowa, they came back from down 15 to quickly get a lead early second half. All of those teams were away or neutral, and they were expected to lose. Even when SDSU was nationally ranked, they were expected to lose at Utah State, against the defending conference champ, a team that was highly ranked, and with the conference player of the year and player that should've gone NBA but stayed. And the Aztecs won. In fact, the aztecs are the only team that's ever won at Utha State this year. And the only team that's won at BYU this year. And the only team that's won at New Mexico this year. How did the New Mexico game go? SDSU started 17-0 and the entire game was a blowout, the Lobos didn't sore for almost 6 minutes. These are all teams that almost never lose at home. SDSU plays D. SDSU travels well. SDSU shares the ball. Playing against Utah was a good challenge too, many expected them to lose or for it to be one of the hardest remaining games. In more recent times, Boise State was supposed to be the hardest remaining game, against a huge sellout crowd and one of the better teams in the conference that plays every game hard. How would they lose? Failing on offense, committing fouls, or teams getting baseline drives over and over.

great work

Great analysis!

Love the content

I'd love a video on BYU and their offense with Yoeli Childs. Love your videos! Thanks!

Hope they come to Indy

It sucks that we never got to the see this team in March Madness

Do a BYU video they killing it

Power 5 please add sdsu. Mw is an anchor

Aztecs just made the championship. Reminded me of this video

High level defense and they execute it well. Not as well as Virginia plays it, but very good.

If Flynn has 3 SPOT-UP SHOOTERS that's 4 perimeter players.

Their DER has been top 10 for decades going back to x Michigan coach fisher Dutcher continued that success. Their problems are generally on offense. Though the Kawhi , Flynn years they were better. They had more transition offense off turnovers so it's not exactly that impressive a 1/2 court offense though they're very patient which is also annoying because if you get behind your done . But if they get behind they are . They control pace both ways with D and hunting shots. They usually dont get pac 10 elite athletes.

So maybe a combination of size, switching, and no middle defense is the answer to beat them?

SDSDU gotta let the 2-MAN start the play sometimes.

I fantasize that SDSU took it all for the 2020 NCAA Championship and was awarded the Corona Trophy.

What could have been…

is this team like the 2013 witchita state team that went undefeated in the regular season then lost in the second round

They have yet to have a true challenge though so I’m excited to see how they do against legit ranked teams

Yikes I think you waited to late to post this.....Great vid tho ❗️

Go AZTECS..! Oh yea.. from Seattle..!

The reason why SDSU is the ONLY undefeated team in the country is because the top teams had to lose to UNRANKED teams. Not SDSU's fault.

I thought it was EASY schedual!!!!

Still a mysterious team. We'll see on March when they face some decent teams.

the 1 major question can they beat a duke,kentucky,kansas or a michigan state

i just want to see them in march , being undefeated means nothing there.

First

Well for starters, they didn't play in the ACC...

This video would’ve been SO much easier to make by just posting a screenshot of their schedule.

Step 1: Play in a weak conference.

They don't play nobody
