The game was marked by intense competition, but it was the Aztecs who managed to secure the win through a combination of tactical offense and resilient defense.
From tip-off at Dee Glen Smith Spectrum, the San Diego State Aztecs demonstrated why they are one of the teams to watch this season. Despite trailing in the first quarter with only 11 points compared to Utah State's 14, they quickly turned things around in subsequent quarters. The second quarter saw them add another 15 points to their tally, but it was after halftime that they truly found their rhythm. With an explosive third and fourth quarter performance, scoring 25 points in each, they left no doubt about their dominance on court.
The statistics reveal just how comprehensive this victory was for San Diego State. They shot with precision from both inside and outside the arc with field goal percentages standing at forty-three percent overall; including an equally impressive three-point shooting percentage also at forty-three percent. Their free throw accuracy was notable as well – sinking eighty-one percent of their shots from the line.
On defense, San Diego State showed equal tenacity. They out-rebounded Utah State by seven boards overall (38-31), which included twelve offensive rebounds leading to twenty-one second chance points – a testament to their hustle and determination under both baskets. Moreover, eight steals contributed significantly towards nineteen points off turnovers.
The team's playmaking abilities were on full display as well; twenty-four assists were distributed among players showcasing unselfish play and cohesion on offense that proved too much for Utah's defenses to handle.
In contrast, while Utah State put up a valiant effort reflected by higher two-point field goal percentage (fifty percent) and free throw accuracy (ninety percent), they could not match San Diego's intensity or execution when it mattered most.
