SAN DIEGO -- The San Diego State Aztecs probably didnt need any more reminders about their embarrassing loss to cross-town rival San Diego last year at Petco Park, home of baseballs Padres. Air Max 95 Noir 2018 Pas Cher .Coach Steve Fisher gave them one anyway. Before leaving the locker room for Friday nights season-opener against USD, Fisher showed his players the cover of the Toreros media guide, which features a photo of Brett Bailey celebrating his emphatic dunk with 1.1 seconds left in USDs stunning 53-48 win.Just one of those things, more fuel to the fire, guard Trey Kell said after scoring 23 points in San Diego States 69-59 victory.Jeremy Hemsley led the Aztecs with 25 points and keyed the go-ahead run early in the second half that made sure the Toreros didnt pull off another upset.Last years game between these teams was a big deal to both sides, Fisher said. We had won nine straight, we were the overwhelming favorite and they beat us in every way possible.Fisher also wrote a message on the board in the locker room: Forgive but dont forget.You can forgive yourself for what happened but dont forget it, and come out and play like a program that has pride and history and respect, Fisher said.USD jumped to a 37-35 lead early in the second half on easy buckets by Tyler Williams and Olin Carter III.After SDSUs Zylan Cheatham made a layup to tie it, Hemsley made the next three baskets. He made a layup and a jumper, and then hit a 3-pointer from the corner to give SDSU a 44-39 lead.Hemsleys jumper started an 18-2 run for the Aztecs, whose defense overwhelmed the Toreros. Hemsley had a slam dunk and a jumper, and Kell made two layups to give the Aztecs a 57-41 lead.The Toreros only bucket during that run was a 3-pointer by Carter, who had a team-high 17 points.That was a big win, a good start, Fisher said. Our guards, Jeremy and Trey, theyre going to have to continue to play like that offensively and will have to play better defensively.The Toreros were hurt by the Aztecs big run in the second half and a 13-0 run in the first half.They gained momentum and ran with it, and we didnt do a good job of handling it, Carter said. I think our execution started to slip and we got sloppy defensively. We let our offense dictate our defense and we gave them some easy looks.The Aztecs got off to a rough start by allowing four straight layups by USD, which led for most of the first half.SDSU also had some early shooting trouble, including three air-balls from 3-point range.Kell kept the Aztecs in the game with a 3-pointer and a layup. He then made two free throws that started the 13-0 run. Hemsley made two 3-pointers, including one that pulled SDSU to 31-30. The Aztecs finally took the lead at 32-31 on a layup by Kell with 2:23 before halftime.The Toreros went cold, making only one basket in the final five minutes: Carters layup with 6.2 seconds left that trimmed their deficit to 35-33 at halftime.BIG PICTUREUSD: The Toreros, who were 9-21 last year in Lamont Smiths first season as coach, are picked to finish last again in the West Coast Conference. They played scrappy and were successful early against SDSUs defense, but couldnt keep up against the bigger Aztecs.SAN DIEGO STATE: The Aztecs were missing a handful of players with injuries, including 6-10 forward Malik Pope. Depth could be a concern if more players dont come back before Mondays game at Gonzaga. Only eight players saw action Friday night.UP IN THE RAFTERSBefore the game, SDSU unveiled the 2015-16 Mountain West regular-season championship banner. That got more cheers than when they unveiled an NIT semifinalist. The Aztecs run of six straight appearances in the NCAA Tournament ended last year when they lost in the championship game of the MWC tournament and were relegated to the NIT.KIND WORDSUSD finished last in the West Coast Conference last year. I dont know their league very well, but thats not a 10th place team in any league, Fisher said.UP NEXTUSD plays its home opener Monday night against Samford.San Diego State visits No. 14 Gonzaga on Monday night.

Welterweight world titleholder Danny Garcia, who has been heavily criticized for his lack of quality opponents over the past three years, will face yet another heavy underdog in his next fight.Garcia will take on Samuel Vargas in a 10-round nontitle bout on Nov. 12 in the main event of a Premier Boxing Champions card on Spike, PBC announced Wednesday.The card will take place at the Liacouras Center on the campus of Temple University in Philadelphia, Garcias hometown. A news conference is scheduled for Thursday at the arena.PBC officials announced that the bout will be Garcias final hurdle before his highly anticipated welterweight world title unification showdown against undefeated champion Keith Thurman planned for the first quarter of 2017.Garcia (32-0, 18 KOs), 28, the former unified junior welterweight world champion, vacated his title and moved up to welterweight last year. In January, he won a unanimous decision -- 116-112 on all three scorecards -- against faded Robert Guerrero to win the welterweight title belt vacated by Floyd Mayweather following his retirement in September 2015.But since his a decision victory against Lucas Matthysse in September 2013, Garcia has maintained a soft schedule. Other than eking out a 12-round majority decision against Lamont Peterson in April 2015, Garcia has beaten Guerrero, long-faded former titleholder Paulie Malignaggi, wildly overmatched club fighter Rod Salka and fringe contender Mauricio Herrera, who many thought deserved the decision against Garcia.A Garcia-Thurman showdown is one of the biggest welterweight fights that can be made and would rank as perhaps the most significant fight in PBC history since it debuted in March 2015.Thurman (27-0, 22 KOs), 27, of Clearwater, Florida, is regarded by many as the No. 1 welterweight in the world. Air Max 270 Flyknit Femme Pas Cher. He has made three successful title defenses, including a one-sided decision against Guerrero in the first PBC main event, a seventh-round knockout of former titleholder Luis Collazo and a close unanimous decision against former titleholder Shawn Porter on June 25 in a fight-of-the-year candidate.Vargas (25-2-1, 13 KOs), 27, who is from Colombia and based in Canada, has no résumé to speak of against world-class opposition. In his most notable fight, he got crushed in a fourth-round knockout loss to then-prospect Errol Spence Jr., a 2012 U.S. Olympian and now a bona fide contender, in April 2015. Vargas has won five fights in a row since against low-level opposition.In one of the other televised bouts, former junior lightweight titlist Javier Fortuna (30-1-1, 22 KOs), 27, of the Dominican Republic, will face Omar Douglas (17-0, 12 KOs), 25, of Wilmington, Delaware, in a scheduled 10-rounder. According to Sampson Lewkowicz, Fortunas promoter, the fight is contracted at 133 pounds. Junior middleweight prospect Jarrett Hurd (18-0, 12 KOs) will also be on the card.Besides the fight, PBC said Garcia will also discuss details of a charity partnership at the news conference as he looks to give back to his hometown throughout the promotion.Garcia has not fought in Philadelphia since 2010 and will be fighting in his hometown for only the fourth time in his career, which began in 2007. He has fought once previously at the Liacouras Center, scoring a second-round knockout of Enrique Colon in 2009 on the undercard of Philadelphia legend Bernard Hopkins lopsided 12-round decision against Enrique Ornelas.
