SDSU MEN'S BASKETBALL LOSES EDGE IN SECOND HALF; FALLS TO UNM 83-70


New Mexico came out firing, but SDSU moved the ball around efficiently and allowed production from everyone on the floor and it gave them a quick early lead. The Aztecs were 7-8 from the field until the Lobos got some giddy-up and tied the game. SDSU fought hard and it didn’t take long for them to pull back in front thanks to an 8-0 run and redshirt sophomore Jalen McDaniels and his 13 points. The Aztecs stepped up their defensive game too, creating turnovers and rebounds that led to points at the other end of the floor. Even when New Mexico went on a 7-0 run and SDSU’s field goals fell to 6-19, McDaniels upped his tally to 17 points and kept the Aztecs ahead. But the Aztecs couldn’t escape redshirt sophomore JuCo transfer Keith McGee’s career-high 14 points and went to the locker room hanging onto the lead by a thin wire, up 37-36.
