Terrell Gomez had 16 points for the Aztecs (9-4, 3-3). Lamont Butler added 13 points and five steals. Jordan Schakel had 11 points.
The Aggies swept the Aztecs, having defeated San Diego State 57-45 on Thursday. San Diego State lost leading scorer Matt Mitchell to a knee injury Thursday, but an exam showed no ligament tears and Mitchell could return in two weeks.
