San Diego • Four days after a miserable loss at New Mexico, streaky San Diego State beat Utah State in a performance that could help the Aztecs in March.
Devin Watson scored 23 points and Jalen McDaniels had 16 for San Diego State, which blew a 13-point lead before beating the Aggies 68-63 Saturday night to open the second half of Mountain West play.
The Aztecs (14-9, 6-4) had a 23-0 run in the first half and overcame a 35-point effort from Utah State’s Sam Merrill to improve to 11-0 against the Aggies since they joined the conference.
