There was no miracle this time.
After winning its past two Mountain West games by a combined two points, Colorado State just didn’t have enough magic left in the tank Wednesday night, falling to San Diego State 69-62 in front of a crowd of 4,018 at Moby Arena.
Aztecs guard Trey Kell scored a career-high 19 points, despite shooting just 1 of 8 from the 3-point line, and Jeremy Hemsley and Malik Pope each added 14 to pace SDSU.
The Rams had their chances late though, but CSU turned the ball over on three consecutive possessions in the final minutes, and the Aztecs closed the game on a 7-0 run to move to 11-6 overall and 4-0 in the Mountain West.
