Graves described Friday's game as "winnable". He'd be right. The Ducks led by double-figures for much of the first half and even threatened late if not for missed free throws in the closing minutes and an inability to possess 50-50 balls.

Long the overlooked football program, San Diego State fits the bill as the most attractive available candidate. But like in real estate, when it comes to expansion, you know what they say: location, location, location. Two hours away from the nation's second biggest market sits some of the most expensive property in the world.
