News and notes from No. 5 San Diego State's first-round NCAA Tournament win over 12th-seeded College of Charleston
If you run your finger across the final box score looking for a single statistic that defined San Diego State’s 63-57 win against College of Charleston in the NCAA Tournament, you’d stop at the Cougars’ 3-point shooting.The Cougars were second in Division I in 3-point makes this season at 10.1. They made five, a 15-point differential.“They just made us uncomfortable shooting 3-point shots,” said Charleston forward Ante Brzovic, who was 0 of 4.
The strategy against Charleston was two-pronged: contest their initial 3s but don’t allow secondary 3s off offensive rebounds, when the percentages go up significantly because the defense is scrambling to identify shooters. Its teams are now 2-14 in their last 16 opening games in the tournament after three more went down Wednesday and Thursday: Nevada against Arizona State in the First Four, Utah State against Missouri and Boise State against Northwestern .
