Until a week ago, San Diego State was a banged-up basketball team stumbling through the opening of Mountain West play.
The Aztecs still are a far distance of where they hope to go, but they are beginning to get there.
San Diego State (10-7, 2-3 MW) is getting healthier, and now the results are starting to follow with back-to-back victories entering Tuesday’s 7 p.m. game against UNLV (9-9, 2-3) at the Thomas & Mack Center. The Aztecs are 5-point favorites in the game that will be streamed live on ESPN3.
“Their talent level is still very high,” UNLV coach Marvin Menzies said.
