SAN DIEGO -- The San Diego State Aztecs didnt pay much attention to Alabama States record.They just knew that a fourth straight loss would have been nightmarish for a program not used to faltering badly.Malik Pope scored 16 points and the San Diego State Aztecs breezed to a 73-41 victory against the Hornets on Monday night to snap a three-game losing streak.The Aztecs (5-4) needed a laugher after losing at Loyola and Grand Canyon, and at home to Arizona State.They got it against the Hornets (1-8) by jumping to a 10-0 lead in the first four minutes. They were up 42-22 at halftime.It feels a lot better after you find a way to get a victory, coach Steve Fisher said. It doesnt matter who you play, it feels good to win.Zylan Cheatham and Montaque Gill-Caesar scored 11 apiece while Dakarai Allen had 10 for the Aztecs.I think it was a step in the right direction to say the least, Cheatham said. Coach Fisher definitely challenged us, definitely. Wanted us to bounce back pretty much and like I said he challenged us and we stepped up. Weve got a long way to go.It just seemed like it was a different feeling in the locker room. Guys were just so anxious, so ready. Not to say that we werent for any other game, but we executed, we made the right plays, and we played for each other.Pope said SDSU is not known to be like a losing team. So, were just as hurt as everybody else and we just had to get back to the grind and fix what was broken. So thats what were trying to do, making progress, so when we go to Hawaii, were just going to keep this momentum going and go from there.Its all about being hungry. You dont get anything you dont deserve, Pope added.Point guard Jeremy Hemsley, SDSUs leading scorer at 17 points per game, sat out with a right foot injury. He would have been available in an emergency. Forward Matt Shrigley started in his place and scored five points.Torloft Thomas led the Hornets with 14 points.The Hornets knew it would be a tough game.They took us out of everything we were trying to do, coach Lewis Jackson said. We got down and they were long and athletic. This gives us something to build on, but they moved the ball well, they ran their sets, they executed well. It was a tough night for us.BIG PICTUREAlabama State: The Hornets only victory this season was 76-67 against Cal State Fullerton in the Global Sports Classic in Las Vegas on Nov. 26.

Adidas Yeezy UK . -- In a span of seven Washington Redskins offensive plays, Justin Tuck sacked Robert Griffin III four times.HOOVER, Ala. -- For the Southeastern Conference, football season cant get here soon enough.The league thats home to eight of the past 10 national titles has also been home to a large amount of offseason problems. Theres been an ongoing NCAA investigation at Mississippi, a Title IX lawsuit at Tennessee and several legal issues that havent painted the league as college footballs best citizens.Still, SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey doesnt believe the league has an image problem.The body of work of this conference far outweighs those problems, yet we are attentive to those realities, Sankey said. We understand when the issues arise, we need to even be more attentive, be that on campus or as a collective group.Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen was one of the coaches at SEC Media Days who faced some pointed questions on Tuesday. The Bulldogs recently allowed prized recruit Jeffery Simmons to enroll in school and join the football team, even though hes still facing misdemeanor assault charges for striking a woman during a fight in March.The school announced a one-game suspension for Simmons in June, a decision that was roundly criticized as being too lenient. The league already has guidelines for potential transfers who have serious misconduct in their past, but those rules dont apply to incoming recruits.Mullen defended the decision, saying that he was thrilled that were having Jeffery as part of our family.Our university did a very, very thorough investigation into everything that happened within the situation there and came up with the conclusion that, you know, we felt that Jeffery deserved the opportunity to be part of our family, Mullen said.Ole Miss -- which won 10 games last season, including the Sugar Bowl -- has been in the middle of a long-running NCAA investigation that involves the football, womens basketball and track and field programs.The university has already self-imposed some penalties for football, including scholarship reductions and three years of probation. The NCAA can accept or add to those penalties.The case could drag on for several more months. Ole Miss asked to delay a hearing before the Committee on Infractions while it looks into draft-night allegations involving former left tackle Laremy Tunsil, who was picked in the first round by the Miami Dolphins.Tunsil was the story of the draft after a bizarre 30-second video of him smoking from a gas mask-bong contraption was posted on his Twitter account just before the selections began. There was also a post on Tunsils Instagram account showing an alleged text conversation with a football staff member about arranging payment for billss.ddddddddddddTunsil said both accounts were hacked, but acknowledged following the draft that he accepted money from a coach while he was at Ole Miss.At best, it was an embarrassing episode for the school and the league. At worst, it could add to Ole Miss penalty from the NCAA. Coach Hugh Freeze and athletic director Ross Bjork have been mostly silent about the investigation over the past few months.The Rebels come to SEC Media Days on Thursday.The central thought must be -- must be -- we never have a team return a championship trophy, never vacate any wins, and never have one of our teams precluded from postseason competition because we either cant follow the NCAAs rules or cant meet the expectations for academic success, Sankey said.Other issues the leagues teams are facing:ALABAMA: The Tides star left tackle Cam Robinson and reserve defensive back Laurence Hootie Jones were arrested in Monroe, Louisiana, in May on drug and weapons charges, but the charges were later dropped after a sympathetic district attorney said he didnt want to ruin the lives of the two football players.Coach Nick Saban has not announced if the players will face discipline. He will talk at SEC Media Days on Wednesday.TENNESSEE: Tennessee recently reached a $2.48 million settlement of a Title IX lawsuit regarding its handling of assault complaints against athletes. The settlement included steps on how the school planned to improve the way it addresses incidents involving sexual misconduct.The lawsuit was filed in Nashville by eight unidentified women who said the school had violated Title IX regulations and fostered a hostile sexual environment through a policy of indifference toward assaults by athletes.GEORGIA: The Bulldogs have had eight arrests since Kirby Smart became the teams coach in December.
