LAS VEGAS – The San Diego State University men’s basketball team opened up its run at the Mountain West Conference Tournament with a stomach-turning 64-61 win over Colorado State.
The Aztecs started the game on the wrong end of the scoreboard. The Rams took an 8-0 lead early while junior Lamont Butler saw one shot fall short and the other too long before the Aztecs finally got on the board with senior Keshad Johnson’s layup assisted by senior Matt Bradley. Colorado’s 8-0 run ended up being the largest lead of the entire game.
“Yeah, they caught fire,” Bradley said.
