San Diego State is looking for a strong finish to the Players Era Festival in Las Vegas when it faces the Baylor Bears on Wednesday night.

The Aztecs (3-2) are coming off an impressive 97-80 win against Oregon, which came 24 hours after they were routed 94-54 by No. 7 Michigan. 

Baylor (4-1) beat Creighton 81-74 in its Players Era Festival opener before losing 96-81 to No. 14 St. John’s. 

Tipoff between the Aztecs and Bears is at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Michelob ULTRA Arena. It will air on truTV.

San Diego State is looking to finish 2-1 in the Players Era Festival, the same record it had last year when the tournament field was just eight teams. It has expanded to 18 teams this season and will pay $1 million in NIL money to each team. The winner receives another $1 million.

This will be the first meeting between the teams since  2011, when the Bears beat the Aztecs 77-67 in Waco. The Aztecs have a 3-2 lead in a series that dates to 1981.

The Aztecs will continue to monitor playing time for 7-footer Magoon Gwath, who missed the season’s first two games as he worked his way back after having knee surgery in late April. Gwath nailed a corner 3 in the closing minutes of the Oregon game to finish with 13 points, as well as four blocks and six rebounds.

“He's not on a restriction right now,” coach Brian Dutcher said. “It's just getting his game shape back and timing. You know, it's not going to come right away. Early in the second half I think it was at the 17-minute mark we took him out because you ask him, you look fatigued already. He said, yeah, I could use one right now. We have to watch him closely and make sure we don't wear him out up and down the floor where he fatigues and all of a sudden he gets a couple of fouls because we've left him in too long.

“As the season goes on, he'll play himself into game shape, but you only get there by playing games. He's on the right path, but he's still getting fatigued early in the games.”
