Aztecs on the Hardwood: Your Guide to Watching San Diego State Basketball (Without Missing Taco Tuesday)
Ah, San Diego State basketball. A team known for its stifling defense, relentless hustle, and the occasional upset that leaves powerhouse programs feeling bamboozled. But let's face it, sometimes catching the Aztecs in action can feel like a game of its own. Fear not, fellow fan, for this guide will have you cheering on the Scarlet and Black with ease, all while ensuring you don't miss out on your weekly dose of delicious tacos.
Cable? We Barely Knew Her!
Forget wrestling with a tangled mess of cables. These days, there's a plethora of streaming services that let you catch the Aztecs without needing to decipher an ancient hieroglyphic remote. Here are your top contenders:
- Sling TV: Think of it as the "à la carte" option. Pick the channels you want, including the one showing the Aztecs, and ditch the rest. Perfect for the minimalist fan (or one who needs more money for tacos).
- Hulu + Live TV: This streaming giant offers a whole bunch of channels, including some regional sports networks that might be showing the Aztecs. Plus, you get access to Hulu's awesome on-demand library. Think of it as basketball and binge-watching in perfect harmony.
- YouTube TV: Another all-in-one option with a focus on live TV. You'll get access to most local channels, so there's a good chance you can catch the Aztecs here. Plus, it comes with a cloud DVR, so you can record games for later viewing (because, let's be honest, sometimes tacos win first place).
Pro Tip: Most of these services offer free trials, so you can test them out before committing. Just remember to cancel before the trial ends, unless you suddenly develop an insatiable hankering for reality shows about housewives (no judgment).
Going Old School: Local Broadcasts
Maybe you're a traditionalist, a purist of the viewing experience. Or maybe you haven't quite embraced the whole "cutting the cord" thing yet. No worries! Check your local listings to see if the game is being broadcast on an over-the-air channel. Who knows, you might rediscover the joy of a good old-fashioned antenna while you cheer on the Aztecs.
Word to the Wise: This option can be a gamble depending on where you live. Make sure to do your research before settling in with a bag of chips and a lukewarm beer.
Aztecs on the Go: Catching the Game on Your Phone (Because We All Do That)
We all lead busy lives. But that doesn't mean you have to miss out on the Aztecs taking the court! Most of the streaming services mentioned above have mobile apps, so you can catch the game on your phone, tablet, or even your smart fridge (because, why not?). There's also the official San Diego State Athletics app, which might have live streams or radio broadcasts available.
Heads Up: Watching on your phone can be a bit of a battery drain. Make sure you have a charger handy, or you might find yourself cheering on a black screen by halftime.
