Aztecs get big lead early, lose it late to Colorado State

Usually when you have a lead for 38 of 40 minutes in a college basketball game, there’s a good chance you win.

However, that was not the case for San Diego State men’s basketball, as it lost to Colorado State 70-67 on Jan. 2 at Viejas Arena.

The Aztecs led by as much as 26 but as the game went on, the lead faltered and went in favor of the Rams.

The 26-point turnaround was the largest comeback in a Mountain West Conference game.

The Rams (6-1, 3-0 MWC), who led for only 39 seconds in the game, drew a foul on a 3-point shot with 12 seconds left to tie the game at 67 and made a couple more free throws to seal the victory.
