Nixon used twice in the first half was a mistake. Rose knew this and did not play him after the first half but besides for a couple scrappy rebounds, he was out of place a lot on defense and sdsu picked on him.
Hard to blame nixon. Big foul trouble mightbe blamed a little but nixon came in before kaufusi, and austin and isaac were not in foul trouble at the time. Very tough spot to put a true freshman. To use him twice was a mistake and it cost us points. He still needs to grow.
