Aztec Elijah Saunders is a 6-foot-8 sophomore who played seldom last year. He is starting this year & has a bright future. But he’s recently struggled, especially shooting the ball, & lost some confidence. He’s trying too hard. Needs to relax, have fun & let the game come to him.

Got 3 things from tonights game: 1- The starting 5 is still beating the breaks off teams. 2- Micah Parrish had top 20 Aztec Bang out. Keshad would approve 3- When Elijah gets confident, the team will go to another level. I bet he’s the one who grows the most this season.

14-4 will definitely win this conference, but 13-5 is probably going to be the conference record of the MWC winner. Protect your home court and find a way to win on the road. What did we learn from today’s loss? That’s all that matters. Let’s go @Aztec_MBB

The Aztecs won!!!! It is sometimes so irritating to see so much negativity when we're winning games. This is basketball and games will be grimy, missed assignments, missed shots, bad calls, unfortunate turnovers. It's early and they are a work in progress. Enjoy the ride!
