Fullerton was 5 of 24 (20.8 percent) on Monday. The flip side: The Aztecs held opponents to 28.3 percent shooting behind the line last season, fourth best in the nation. Said Knell: “Everyone on the team can shoot it.” Six different players connected from deep, including three each from Noah Waterman and Jaxson Robinson.
Spencer Johnson had a career-high 20, as five Cougars finished in double figures. Knell, playing his first game in 593 days after shoulder surgery cost him last season, was 5 of 9 behind the arc and had 19 points. “We’re not going to be able to get up 43 3s up in a lot of games, but we’re going to fight to get them up.”
