Aguek Arop's players-only meeting before practice Thursday, the resurgence of Nathan Mensah, and what the Aztecs need to do to win the Mountain West
Three thoughts on No. 22 San Diego State’s 72-52 win against Boise State on Friday night:When officials summon captains to the center circle during pregame warmups, other teams often send two or three players, usually starters. SDSU sends one: Aguek Arop, who has started only seven of 119 career games and none this season.
Every player stood up and spoke, taking accountability for their shortcomings and addressing areas that need improvement. They reasserted their roles, recommitted, refocused.“We all were truthful with ourselves,” Nathan Mensah said, “what we can do to bring the team up to the standards that San Diego State is known for.”
“If they invest in the season, invest in the team, invest in themselves, then we’re going to have a really good year.”One of the first people who raised his hand and spoke Thursday was senior center Nathan Mensah, who was outscored 19-4 by Nevada counterpart Will Baker on Tuesday. Four came against Tyson Degenhart, Boise State’s leading scorer — three in 3½ minutes in the first half and his fourth with 16:02 to go. That, more than anything, changed the game, taking the Broncos’ best player off the floor during the big first-half run and defusing any designs on a second-half comeback.
