SAN DIEGO (AP) — Devin Watson scored 23 points and Jalen McDaniels had 16 for San Diego State, which blew a 13-point lead before beating Utah State 68-63 Saturday night to open the second half of Mountain West play.
The Aztecs (14-9, 6-4) overcame a 35-point effort from Utah State's Sam Merrill to improve to 11-0 against the Aggies since they joined the conference.
Merrill finished two shy of his career-high before fouling out for the Aggies (18-6, 8-3), who came into the game in sole possession of second place.
