San Diego State's roster is sure to churn after its latest trip to the Sweet 16, and much hinges on whether 3 veterans opt to come back
Three thoughts on San Diego State’s 82-52 loss to No. 1 overall seed Connecticut in the NCAA Tournament’s Sweet 16, and what comes next: With 3:02 left, the horn sounded and SDSU’s starting lineup subbed out en masse: Jaedon LeDee, Lamont Butler, Darrion Trammell, Micah Parrish and Jay Pal. Senior, senior, senior, senior and senior. That’s 6,089 career points, 2,619 rebounds, 675 games and 15,991 combined minutes of Division I experience.
“Goon” gets unleashed now. That’s Magoon Gwath, the 7-foot freshman who impressed in summer workouts, only for a routine X-ray to discover his right ankle was hanging together by a few strands of tissue and needed major surgery to stabilize it. He patiently rehabbed through the summer and fall, finally cleared for live action in late December — too late, Dutcher deemed, to activate a true freshman for this season. He’s been a force in practice ever since.
