Meanwhile, San Diego St was the big favorite in their most recent match, and for good reason. They were fully in charge, breezing past the Texas Southern Tigers 77-42. San Diego St's success was spearheaded by the efforts of G Jordan Schakel, who had 15 points, and G Malachi Flynn, who had 15 points and five assists along with five rebounds.
