San Diego State will face Utah State Saturday at Dee Glen Smith Spectrum, hoping to make amends for their last matchup, which ended in a loss.
The last time the Aztecs took on the Aggies, back in December, they lost by one point on their home court. Two weeks later, they fell to New Mexico on the road.
“We don’t like to lose at home,” Wayne McKinney III said. “That one [against Utah State] hurt really bad. And we really just got beat in New Mexico. So that was a game that really, that really stung as well.”
Big man Magoon Gwath agrees.
“I’m pretty sure everybody on the team has had it in the back of their mind, thinking about these couple games coming up after losing,” the redshirt freshman said.
During the Aztecs’ commanding Tuesday win over Fresno State, Nick Boyd made his presence known from the first shot of the game. The senior guard went into the game five points shy of 1,000 career points in the NCAA, and quickly surpassed the milestone on his way to scoring 19.
Looking ahead to the weekend, head coach Brian Dutcher said he hopes that Boyd’s new approach pays dividends for SDSU.
“He’s done a good job listening to what we had to tell him, and he’s made adjustments in his game, and he’s playing better because of it. This will continue – if it does – we’ll be good, and if it doesn’t, we’ll struggle,” Dutcher said.
San Diego State faces Utah State at 5 p.m. Saturday – when they have a chance to tie the Aggies for second place in the Mountain West – then return home to host New Mexico at 8 p.m. Tuesday.
“We seem to be fresh even though we’re at the very end of the year,” Dutcher said. “We seem to have fresh lights because we have a deep team, and hopefully, that will serve us well as we play the last five games of the conference schedule.”
