In a 'matchup' of two top-25 teams, San Diego State plans to scout the Bruins this time instead of going into the scrimmage blind as it did last year
One of the college basketball season’s first matchups between ranked teams is Sunday morning at Viejas Arena, when No. 8 UCLA faces No. 19The players, the coaches, a few staffers, a couple administrators, three referees and a stat crew will be the only people to see it. There are no fans, no boosters, no ushers, no concession workers, no TV, no media.“It’s a big test,” SDSU junior guard Lamont Butler said. “UCLA, they’re a top-25 team as well. It’s going to be really fun for us to see how we do.
“You’re just trying to find a really good game against a really good team to see where you’re really at,” said Aztecs coach Brian Dutcher, whose team also has a Nov. 1 exhibition at Viejas Arena with fans against NAIA San Diego Christian. “The exhibition games are fine, but they’re a whole different dynamic.
He and Dutcher are good friends, a kinship forged by both being sons of coaches, and this marks their third meeting in as many years. The first was in 2020, a 73-58 SDSU win in a four-team event at Viejas Arena without fans that was hastily arranged after both teams had out-of-state tournaments canceled during the pandemic.
