Viejas Arena again proved to be the ultimate sacrificial altar for visiting teams Saturday night as the Aztecs dispatched San Jose State 72-51 in convincing fashion. The Aztecs, (17-4, 8-1 MWC) took a 33-14 halftime lead on the back of a 10-minute streak that saw San Jose State (13-9, 4-5 MWC) score only one point. Tenacious Aztec defense and cold Spartan shooting quickly disintegrated a fairly close game into a one-sided clinic. The Aztecs forced thirteen turnovers while the Spartans were ice-cold shooting with 35% on the night. Keshad Johnson proved to be too much for the Spartans as he scored sixteen points and added eight rebounds.
