@jgd0634 Last shot: 1. Larry Bird. 2. Jerry West. Can’t get any better than that as pure shooters who are incredible in the clutch.

A heart-felt message from Miles Byrd shows his love for San Diego State, Aztec fans & the San Diego community. He gave 4 years of his young life to Coach Dutcher & the Aztecs basketball program. Now, he’ll start a new life chapter at Providence & continue to chase his NBA dream.

As a chapter begins, I would just like to thank everyone who supported me in a San Diego State Aztec jersey the past 4 years. The love in San Diego has allowed me to turn this place into a home away from home and it will forever be that for me. Say what you will, I’m an Aztec4L❤️

Cool story on a young Wimby & how he used “Pistol Pete” Maravich ball-handling drills to sharpen his skill set and confidence with the ball. The Pistol was one of a kind with his offensive creativity with the ball, & 30 years ahead of his time. #PistolPete

@mckoosa1 The legendary Pete Maravich, wearing his Pro-Keds in the photo, was always tough to guard —at any time or any place he had the ball on the court. The best ball-handler of all-time and he was 30 years ahead of his time in offensive creativity. #PistolPete

But once he hurt his knee, he was not the same. Played with Larry Bird & Celtics in his final season & never won an NBA title.

Caught up with Wisconsin’s Nick Boyd at the draft combine. He loves getting buckets in transition, which should surprise zero Badgers fans

San Diego State Aztecs men’s basketball lands Italian forward Luca Vincini as the international pipeline keeps growing.

NBA thoughts:
— Glad to hear that Steve Kerr is returning on a 2-year contract to coach Steph Curry & the Warriors.
— No doubt AJ Dabantsa will be the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft. Lottery picks will be announced Sunday. AJ should have an outstanding All-Star caliber NBA career.

@GlobeBobRyan @jgd0634 Bob — As you know, Hal Greer was considered the third best guard behind Oscar Robertson & Jerry West during their golden era. Hal was an outstanding two-way player & shot a jump shot on his free throws. Hal is a Hall of Famer who today’s NBA fans don’t realize how good he was.

Greatest midrange shooters ever.

@KenLocati Ken — Yes, that’s the point. Dutcher & staff have helped build SDSU into an outstanding D-1 program that competes with many of the perennial top 25 teams in most instances. They fit recruit & develop talent that plays within the program’s culture. No need to panic. W’s will come.

@billohoops When being a top 50 team is considered a down year where they struggled you know you have a great program.

San Diego State legend Steve Fisher took over a struggling program & turned it into a West Coast power. Brian Dutcher took over the Aztecs from Fisher & raised the bar, getting to an NCAA final. Dutcher has an elite staff & despite a tough 2025-26 season, the future is bright.
English
Longtime assistant Matt Soria has been a blessing for coaches Fisher & Dutcher over the years, working his scheduling magic & getting a lot of the little-but-important things done at an elite level behind the scenes. “Sauce” is one of the reasons why the Aztecs’ culture lives on.

Happy 28th Birthday to Malachi Flynn. The former San Diego State All-American & NBA point guard is currently a star player in Turkey & was named to the All-EuroCup first team this season. Good luck Malachi as you continue to chase your dreams, on & off the court. #Aztecs

With all of that said, it’s going to be fun to see what San Diego State can do in the PAC12 this coming year, especially in the Aztecs’ head-to-head battles with national powerhouse Gonzaga. Good luck to Coach Dutcher, his staff & the players as the program enters a new era.
English
A college analyst predicts there will be 25 schools in the 2026-27 season with NIL budgets of $20 million. SDSU won’t be one of them. But if Dutcher & Co. can continue to meet the current demands with smart recruiting & player development along with solid NIL $$, SDSU will be OK.
English
This will be a huge year for Dutch, who has been successful in adapting to changes in college hoops in his tenure & he’s having to do it with the crazy NIL market — where UConn coach Dan Hurley predicts top teams will need NIL budgets of $14 million-plus to win at elite levels.
