For just the third time since the beginning of last season, No. 18/20 San Diego State men’s basketball was handed a loss.
Brigham Young came into Viejas Arena for the first time in two years and defeated the Scarlet and Black 72-62.
SDSU trailed by as much as 17 points at the end of the first half and came all the way back to tie the game late, but could not come through.
Aztecs’ head coach Brian Dutcher said the team will improve but liked the comeback mentality from his players during the second half.
“We knew this was going to be a very good game,” Dutcher said.
