Many a folk would have struggled to place the San Diego State Aztecs in the preseason top 25...much less the preseason top 6. Well, ma, looks at them spry Aztecs now! They have literally shed the role of being a dark horse and have stepped full force into the spotlight of the college basketball macrocosm. They are 27-1. Now they have come to possibly the most important game of the season for possibly any team so far. They play high ranked Mountain West brother BYU at home on the 26th of February with a Mountain West title and a possible #1 ranking come Selection Sunday on the line.

The Jimmer's managed to take my darling Aztecs during the first meeting at home, but the Cougars are yet to experience the true tenacity of San Diego, but we fans of SDSU must pray we have seen Jimmer at full force with his 43 in round one. The Fighting Fredettes lost a stunner to New Mexico just a couple of days (approximately 3) after defeating the much beloved Aztecs. Now, it appears that San Diego State comes in with all the momentum, and a #4 ranking in the much hyped, but hopefully worthless ESPN/USA Today Poll. Should the Aztecs falter at home, I cannot imagine the downward spiral San Diego State will incur with the failure to defeat the most (only) prominent team other than themselves in the Mountain West Conference, but should it happen there is only one thing that will soothe and assuage the pain which erupt inside of my heart: the fact that Jimmer Fredette learned how to play basketball with inmates.

Yes, and so therefore...in conclusion: San Diego State has a must win should they keep their miracle season alive and not fold and hand the trophy of greatest cinderella ever in the history of college basketball to BYU and the other Fighting Fredettes.
