This was the San Diego State Aztecs team that head coach Brian Dutcher was expecting to see.
Against the Georgetown Hoyas (2-2) in their first match of the Paycom Wooden Legacy, the Aztecs (4-1) rediscovered their ability to shoot, sinking 48.3 percent of their field goals en route to a 73-56 victory.
Sophomore guard Lamont Butler was a crucial aspect to SDSU’s victory, shooting a perfect 6-of-6 from the field while dropping 16 points, nine from beyond the three-point arc.
The first shot of the game was a three from Butler but as the game progressed, Georgetown took a slim four-point lead with 9:46 minutes remaining in the first half
Their lead, however, wasn’t large enough to keep the Aztecs at bay as the Scarlet and Black grappled their way to an eight-point lead heading into halftime.
