Conversely, San Diego State is eighth in the league on offense, averaging 71.6 points per game. The Aztecs are on top defensively, allowing 62.9 points per game, nearly three points less than second-place Boise State.

San Diego State has been off for the past week after defeating Wyoming at home last Saturday.

“We took Sunday and Monday off to rest them a little bit,” San Diego State head coach Brian Dutcher said of how the Aztecs utilized the past week. “We added a few things, we worked on some fundamentals that we have to get better at, at the defensive end.”

San Diego State’s leading scorer Miles Byrd was honored earlier in the week as one of 10 candidates for the Julius Erving Award, presented to the nation’s top small forward annually.

“To have Miles up for the (Julius Erving Award) is very cool,” Dutcher said. It’s because we’re winning and the program we have here and the players we have here so I’m proud of each and every one of them.”
