San Diego State did not make it to the Big Dance, but they do get to continue playing in the post season in the NIT where they are a two seed and can host at least two games this week. The Aztecs host IPFW (who?!?!), their full name Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne.
The Aztecs and Mastodons tip off on Tuesday March 15 at 10 p.m. ET on ESPN3, so yeah, a streaming only game.
IPFW comes from the Summit League where they won the regular season with a 24-9 record but they fell in the conference tournament to North Dakota State.
IPFW is a balanced scoring team with five players averaging in double figures with Max Landis leading the way averaging 18.9 points per game, and then they have Mo Evans who puts up 16.9 points per game, 5.1 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.1 steals per game.
Overall, they average 80 points per game and with that type of offensive output could put a scare into San Diego State. However, IPFW has not seen a defense as good as the Aztecs and that very likely will counter that Mastodons offense.
