Cal transfer bucked convention, chose SDSU over college bluebloods
This is why Matt Bradley came to San Diego State. This is why, after entering the transfer portal at Cal, he muted Gonzaga, Kentucky, Kansas, USC and Oregon when his phone buzzed.
“It’s an overwhelming experience, just to hear your team be called and have a chance to compete against all the great teams in college basketball,” Bradley said of the team’s opening-round game Thursday“I could never put myself in that situation. I’ve always been a fan of March Madness, but I’ve never participated in it. So, I could never put myself in the shoes of those players.”Not just because the tournament’s well-worn nickname is The Big Dance.
San Diego State connections soon began popping up like spring flowers after a rainstorm, ranging from body-and-game look-alike Matt Mitchell , former player Jamaal Franklin and rebounding machine and former NBA player Michael Cage .“I didn’t think he was even going to come here,” fellow guard Adam Seiko said.A team in desperate need of consistent scoring had one land in the locker room, just in time. His 17-point scoring average, No.
“He doesn’t want to just go, he wants to have his shining moment. And if he does, we’ll have a chance to win games.” In the first two games of last week’s Mountain West Tournament, he hit just 4 of 14 shots for 12 points while piling up nine turnovers. In the championship game, awhere he left the potential game-winning drive on the front of the rim, he scored 17.
