Losing Mike was big. And we are playing a bunch of freshman and sophomore at the five. And our senior at the four has been a role player his whole career. And Aytes who we expected to be our top low post scorer had surgery.
That said, keep in mind that SDSU's front court is better than everyone else we will play this year, with the exception of Gonzaga and possibly Stanford. I saw nothing last night to dispel my optimism for the year...the core of Worthington, Kafusi, and Neilson is a promising one at the 5.
