Aztecs race to a 14-point halftime lead, beat Paladins 75-52 in Orlando. Next up: A Sweet 16 game Friday in Louisville
The Aztecs have been waiting for this performance, putting both ends of the floor together and wrapping with an NCAA bow. The defense was good, but the offense wasn’t. The offense improved, but then the defense slipped. Then the defense ramped up but the offense disappeared.
Furman guard JP Pegues drove the lane and pump faked 6-9 Jaedon LeDee and 6-6 Aguek Arop into the air, then spun and figured he had an easy basket — only for Bradley to fly in and swat it to Miami.Orlando, FL - March 18: San Diego State’s Matt Bradley blocks a shot by Furman’s JP Pegues during the second round of the NCAA Tournament in Orlando on Saturday, March 18, 2023..
The Paladins went nearly 11 minutes without a basket, from 11:17 left to 23 seconds when Mike Bothwell made a contested jumper at the shot clock buzzer. The basket at 11:17 came in a similar scenario, one of the nation’s fastest teams reduced to passing it around in the halfcourt and jacking something up as the shot clock expired.
