Column: Final Four's funky shooting situation benefits offensively-challenged Aztecs
Stroll into yawning NRG Stadium, home of the NFL’s Texans, and peek at the baskets on the elevated court. There’s vast real estate stretching in both directions with no close-proximity landmarks for shooters to fix their eyes upon.
Consistently knocking down shots from the perimeter is not who this bunch is, for starters. That’s not where “The depth perception is a little bit different,” San Diego State guard Darrion Trammell said. “That doesn’t really concern us as much because we really haven’t had a lot of shooting games where we’ve shot really well. We really rely on our inside presence.”If other teams are the Air Force, the Aztecs represent the Army. They meet you on the ground, in the mud for hand-to-hand combat. UConn and Miami ranked among the best in the country in KenPom.
