The game held at Moby Arena in Fort Collins was attended by 2,434 spectators who witnessed a contest where both teams fought hard but with differing fortunes. The San Diego State Aztecs struggled from two-point range, making only 10 out of 34 attempts which translated into a mere 29 percent success rate. Their three-point attempts were more fruitful as they converted six out of fourteen shots, rounding up to about 43 percent accuracy.

On defense and rebounding fronts, there were notable disparities between the two teams. The Aztecs gathered a total of thirty rebounds throughout the game; however, only four were offensive rebounds which limited their second-chance opportunities significantly – they scored just one second-chance point during play. Defensively they managed twenty-six rebounds but failed to register any blocks against Colorado State's offense.
