We are a quintessential BE team. I can live with that.
This will be a tough game. SDSU plays tough D.

We're doomed:
"The Aztecs ... beat No. 20 Creighton 86-80 on Friday night with 20 hours' notice. It was the 15th time in the last decade they've played on back-to-back days in the regular season, and the 15th time they've won the second game."
Maybe not:
"The win against No. 20 Creighton was the 11th over a ranked opponent since January 2010, but never in school history have the Aztecs won consecutive games against ranked teams."
A concern I have about this game is our transition defense. We have been playing good half court defense thus far. We also have been crashing the offensive boards quite a bit as of late (and been successful doing it). I really hope this doesn't cause us to give up some easy transition baskets.
I still think the key to this team is defense. We have had some good offensive games but overall defense will be our key. We don't want this game to be an up and down transition game.

SDSU has won 96 straight games when they've had the lead with 5 minutes left.

This is a confusingly written stat. What they mean is that we have never beaten two ranked teams in back to back games. We have definitely beaten consecutive ranked opponents
