Junior guard Matt Mitchell attempts to secure the ball away from the UNLV defender during SDSU's 66-63 loss against UNLV on Feb. 22 at Viejas Arena.
Since clinching the regular-season Mountain West title on Feb. 11, San Diego State men’s basketball head coach Brian Dutcher has said numerous times he wants to get greedy and chase perfection before heading to Las Vegas for the conference tournament.
UNLV came into Viejas Arena in hopes of spoiling Dutcher and his team’s goal.
The Rebels did just that.
SDSU lost its first game of the season by a final score of 66-63 on Saturday evening at Viejas Arena.
