Aztecs take on deep-shooting Cowboys at Viejas Arena – San Diego Union-Tribune


SDSU vs. Wyoming

When: 5 p.m. Saturday

Where: Viejas Arena

On the air: CBS Sports Network; 760-AM

Records: SDSU is 14-5 (7-3); Wyoming is 11-10 (4-6)

Series history: SDSU leads 51-41, winning 11 straight overall and 16 straight at Viejas Arena. The last home loss came in 2007, when Wyoming scored a basket with 4.9 seconds left to win 66-65.  They met only once last season, an 81-65 Aztecs win in San Diego.

Aztecs update: They get a much-needed bye after this and an extra week for starting center Jared Coleman-Jones to heal his injured shoulder. Coleman-Jones missed two weeks of preseason practice in October when the shoulder popped out. It happened again at Nevada last Saturday, and the 6-foot-10 senior sat out Tuesday’s nervy 71-68 home win against San Jose State (which dropped the Aztecs five spots in the Kenpom metric to 42nd). Coach Brian Dutcher said he’ll be a game-time decision, although there is some thought to not pushing it with the bye ahead. Sophomore Miles Heide started in his place Tuesday. The Aztecs continue to struggle at Viejas Arena: They have already lost three times this season after going 70-6 over the previous five. In addition, they trailed 20-8 against Air Force and 33-12 against San Jose State before rallying. With another win, Dutcher will become the fourth coach in Mountain West history with 100 conference victories. The others: Steve Fisher (168), Boise State’s Leon Rice (159) and Steve Alford (128) with New Mexico and Nevada. Ted Leitner, in his final season as SDSU’s radio commentator, will be honored in a halftime ceremony that will include more than a dozen former players.
