Aztecs defeat Air Force, 66-51, for second straight victory
Sophomore forward Matt Mitchell dribbles the ball during the Aztecs' 66-51 victory over Air Force on Jan. 30 at Viejas Arena.
Sophomore forward Matt Mitchell avoided a steal attempt from an Air Force defender, drove to the hoop and evaded the baseline with a wraparound pass to senior guard Devin Watson on the perimeter.
Mitchell threw a hand up in the air as soon as Watson rose up to launch a corner three, which sank to the bottom of the net.
The play may not have been a deciding moment in the game, it gave SDSU a 28-15 lead with just over five minutes to play in the first half, but what it represented could end up being far more important: The Aztecs appear to have their swagger back.
