Aztecs Set to Clash with Spartans in Battle for Supremacy at Viejas Arena

As the San Diego State Aztecs prepare to host the San Jose State Spartans at Viejas Arena, fans can anticipate a thrilling encounter. The Aztecs have been showcasing their prowess on their home court, coming off a decisive 81-70 victory against the New Mexico Lobos and a strong 71-55 win over the Colorado State Rams.

The team's recent performances have been marked by impressive shooting accuracy, particularly from inside the arc where they shot an outstanding 65 percent against the Lobos and maintained a solid 51 percent against the Rams. Their defensive efforts are not to be overlooked either; they've consistently outrebounded their opponents and utilized turnovers to fuel their offense.

One area of concern might be ball security, as turnovers have crept into their game with twenty against both New Mexico and Colorado State. However, they've compensated for this with high assist numbers—20 assists in their last game—and an assist-to-turnover ratio that reflects their ability to share the basketball effectively.

The Aztecs' three-point shooting has also been noteworthy. While it dipped slightly in overtime during an away game against Nevada, they bounced back by hitting 41 percent from beyond the arc in their latest home stand. This versatility in scoring will be crucial as they face off against San Jose State.

Viejas Arena has proven to be a fortress for SDSU; its energetic atmosphere often acts as a sixth man, propelling them forward during tight games. With recent victories under their belt and playing on familiar territory, momentum is certainly on their side.

Fans can catch this exciting matchup scheduled for February 28th at Viejas Arena at Aztec Bowl in San Diego. The game will tip-off at 8:00 PM local time (US/Pacific) and will be broadcasted nationally on CBS Sports Network (channel 221).
