Last year the Aztecs hit a wall in the national champion game, as the Huskies won the title game comfortably. Look at the stat line from that game, and there are quite a few things that San Diego State must turn around if they want to reverse their fortunes this year.

• Shoot better: 32% from the field and 26% from three-point range isn’t going to cut it in any game, let alone the championship. Throw in 75% shooting from the free-throw line and there is plenty of room for improvement this time.
• Battle of the Boards: This one was pretty even, but UConn did enjoy a 40-34 advantage on the boards in the 2023 matchup SDSU will need to get any advantage they can now and winning the rebounding battle is a good start.
• Pass the ball: Similarly, San Diego State needs to play their team style of basketball. A balanced scoring attack is their strength and only managing seven assists (UConn had thirteen) last year isn’t going to cut it. Share the ball and pile up the assists.
• Limit fouls: The Aztecs committed twenty fouls last game, compared to the fifteen the Huskies got called for. It wasn’t a huge disparity, but this is another game within the game that would be beneficial to win.
