San Diego State players, coaches fighting stomach bug
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - San Diego State is battling a lot more than just Duke and star freshman Jahlil Okafor.
Team spokesman Mike May said several players and coaches are battling a stomach bug, including head coach Steve Fisher.
The trouble began when senior guard Aqeel Quinn came down with what the team thought was a case of food poisoning after eating a turkey sandwich on Thursday.
But May said several members of the Aztecs began feeling off by Saturday evening and into Sunday. The list included: junior Angelo Chol, and freshmen Kevin Zabo and Malik Pope; as well as assistants Brian Dutcher and David Velasquez, and director of basketball operations Matt Soria.
San Diego State started 4-for-19 from the field and fell behind quickly against a top-seeded Blue Devils team that came out sharp.
