SAN DIEGO - The San Diego State men's basketball game at Arizona State is set to be televised by FOX Sports Arizona. The contest, which is slated for Saturday, Dec. 19, will be shown live beginning at 4:30 p.m. MT/3:30 p.m. PT.

The Aztecs' sixth road game of the 2009-10 season can be seen locally in the San Diego market and nationally on DIRECTV channel 686 and DISH Network channel 415. Daron Sutton and Tom Kuyper will handle the call for FS Arizona.

Single-game and season tickets are currently on sale with season-seat prices starting as low as $99. San Diego State takes the floor for the first time on Tuesday, Nov. 3, when they play host to Cal Baptist in an exhibition game at Viejas Arena (formerly Cox Arena). Tip time is slated for 7 p.m. PT.

SDSU is again expected to contend for the MWC crown as multiple preseason publications have the Aztecs finishing in the top three, including Sporting News, which picked San Diego State to win the league championship. This past week, SDSU received votes and earned eight points in the preseason ESPN/USA Today Coaches Top-25 poll.

The Aztecs welcome back preseason all-Mountain West choice Billy White, two-year starter D.J. Gay, sophomore Tim Shelton and experienced senior Kelvin Davis. Joining the quartet this year is a highly talented group of players beginning with the MWC's preseason freshman of the year Kawhi Leonard, Division I transfers Brian Carlwell (Illinois) and Tyrone Shelley (Pepperdine), junior college transfer Malcolm Thomas and the highly touted Chase Tapley and Alec Williams.
