Matt YoumansHOST
The total, 156.
Matt YoumansHOST
This is a new look team for Brian Dutcher.
Matt YoumansHOST
Really not sure what to expect out of San Diego State.
Matt YoumansHOST
Northern Arizona, UNLV.
Rob VenoHOST
Easy over for Cal State Fullerton last night against San Diego State.
Rob VenoHOST
Brian Dutcher let the horses go like he sometimes will do.
Rob VenoHOST
And as I gaze over, I think we did talk about Holy Cross team total under last night.
Rob VenoHOST
It wasn't under against Rhode Island.
38 MINS LATER
Rob VenoHOST
San Diego State realized, you know what? We can get buckets anytime we want with this team.
Rob VenoHOST
Let's just run.
Rob VenoHOST
It's not necessarily Brian Dutcher's style.
Rob VenoHOST
But in that contest last night, easy points, a huge win.
Greg PetersonHOST
But you could tell that that was a defense that still wasn't necessarily what it has been in the past.
Greg PetersonHOST
So a few question marks there with Brian Dutcher's team.
Greg PetersonHOST
They're going to hope that Jeremiah Cherry is going to be good to go after he was limited to six games last year over at Sacramento State.
Greg PetersonHOST
In those six games, he was averaging 15.5 points, eight plus rebounds per game.
Lee HamiltonHOST
Rubik's Cube roster.
Lee HamiltonHOST
That's the phrase I use when I ask Brian Dutcher about this.
Lee HamiltonHOST
He's got 10 new players who have never played before, including the three Euros and the transfers.
Lee HamiltonHOST
So it's going to be very different learning on the job.
23 MINS LATER
Lee HamiltonHOST
Yeah, but Gonzaga's over here.
Lee HamiltonHOST
Their mail is being sent here to the Pac-12 conference.
Lee HamiltonHOST
I wanted to ask Brian Dutcher about strength of schedule.
Lee HamiltonHOST
San Diego State's schedule is a bear.
Rob VenoHOST
Will there be enough possessions in order to get you over? What the number is here is 154 and a half, 155.
Rob VenoHOST
And that's kind of where I run into somewhat of a brick wall because under Dutcher, they're somewhat sporadic.
Rob VenoHOST
I'll put it that way.
Rob VenoHOST
There's games where he does.
Rob VenoHOST
And you read some Brian Dutcher quotes.
Rob VenoHOST
over the past couple of years, and you find that he'll open the gates and let these guys go.
Rob VenoHOST
But in the end, they're a defensive-minded team.
Tate FrazierGUEST
But I'm kind of buying into the program, being able to get Boise State into the mix there, and I think that's why they feel pretty solid there at number five.
Dylan HaughHOST
In terms of SDSU, you know, year 10 for Brian Dutcher.
Dylan HaughHOST
And he's had a top 30 defense every year outside of 2019.
Dylan HaughHOST
And you take a look at his defensive rankings since their final four appearance.
Tate FrazierGUEST
And they're able to stay in games because of their defense.
Tate FrazierGUEST
I just wonder where they get their offense from.
Tate FrazierGUEST
Is it Harrington who ends up being, you know, the one that takes the leap from, you know, eight points a game to, 15 16 17 18 points a game if he does then this team obviously has an engine on the offensive end that you feel good about but i think that's the biggest question mark it's just like where does the offense come for this team who is actually going to be the table setter for this group and uh brian dutcher has proven that he's been able to find those guys um and then they get taken away from him yeah
Dylan HaughHOST
that's true this year
Darren SmithHOST
Not in this type of sitting, you know, not here, especially if people don't have the emotional attachment to San Diego state, you know, like that's the other thing about college sports.
Darren SmithHOST
Like I root for San Diego state basketball because I love Brian Dutcher and before him, I love Steve Fisher and I love Dave.
Darren SmithHOST
And I love some of the people that we've met, but I went to St. John's.
Darren SmithHOST
Most people in San Diego did
Andrew CrowleyHOST
All right, my guest today is entering his third season as the head coach at Long Beach State.
Andrew CrowleyHOST
Prior to that, he was an assistant at San Diego State with Brian Dutcher, and he'll bring his squad into the Huntsman Center on opening night to take on the running Utes.
Andrew CrowleyHOST
Long Beach State head coach, Chris Acker.
Andrew CrowleyHOST
Coach, thank you for joining me.
Jonathan LidskinHOST
Yeah, totally can get behind that.
Sam FedermanHOST
So just to kind of paint the picture for you guys, San Diego State, obviously known as a defense-first program under Brian Dutcher, they have finished with their defense ranking higher than their offense— Every single season under Brian Dutcher, they have not finished with an offense that ranks higher than the defense, Jonathan.
Sam FedermanHOST
Do you know when the last time they finished with an offense that ranks higher than the defense?
Jonathan LidskinHOST
I don't.
Curtis RogersGUEST
And I mean...
Curtis RogersGUEST
San Diego State, tremendous coaching as well with Brian Dutcher.
Curtis RogersGUEST
I think this is a really, really good conference.
Curtis RogersGUEST
It's going to be a lot of fun.
