San Diego State’s historic run is over.
The Aztecs, the last remaining undefeated team in college basketball, fell to UNLV 66-63 on Saturday at Viejas Arena in San Diego, marking their first loss of the year.
“I’m thrilled for our guys,” UNLV coach T.J. Otzelberger said. “They really locked in in practice this week. We’ve gotten better as the season moved on. The moment wasn’t too big for us, they shared the basketball, played together and really got some stops that we needed there late.”
The two teams bounced back and forth through the first several minutes of the contest.
