First Half

The first half saw both teams battling for control, with the San Diego State Aztecs taking an early lead. The Aztecs managed to secure a 35-24 advantage by halftime, thanks in part to their effective field goal percentage of 45 percent. Magoon Gwath played a pivotal role during this period, contributing significantly on both ends of the court.

Second Half

As the second half commenced, the SDSU team continued to assert dominance. Their defense was particularly impressive, recording four blocks and six steals throughout the game. Pharaoh Compton's presence in the paint was crucial as he helped maintain defensive pressure against Wyoming's offensive efforts.

Despite an aggressive push from Wyoming in which they scored 39 points in this half alone, it wasn't enough to overcome SDSU's strategic play and scoring consistency. The Cowboys struggled with turnovers and were unable to capitalize on fast break opportunities effectively.

Post Game Analysis

In terms of individual performances for SDSU, Reese Dixon-Waters stood out by leading his team offensively while maintaining composure under pressure. His ability to drive through defenses added depth to San Diego State’s attack strategy.

The post game analysis highlights that while Wyoming showed flashes of potential—especially through their bench players who contributed significantly—their overall efficiency lagged behind that of SDSU’s well-rounded approach.
