What to Know
The College of Charleston Cougars and the #18 San Diego State Aztecs are set to clash at 3:10 p.m. ET March 16 at Amway Center in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
Even if it wasn’t a dominant performance, the Cougars beat the UNC-Wilmington Seahawks 63-58 last Tuesday. College of Charleston’s guard Ryan Larson was one of the most active players for the team, picking up 23 points.
Meanwhile, San Diego State earned some more postseason success in their contest this past Saturday. They snuck past the Utah State Aggies with a 62-57 win. The Aztecs’ forward Jaedon LeDee filled up the stat sheet, posting a double-double on 13 points and ten boards. LeDee hadn’t helped his team much against the San Jose State Spartans this past Friday, so this was a nice turnaround for him.
A couple numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: College of Charleston comes into the matchup boasting the 14th most points per game in college basketball at 80.8. But San Diego State enters the game with only 63.6 points allowed per game on average, good for 28th best in college basketball. These opposing strengths should make for an exciting matchup.
