Return Effort: Men’s basketball grabs 71-59 win on a night honoring legends

LeDee notched his ninth double-double, Waters went for 14 points and Pal grabbed 10 rebounds as the Aztecs topped Nevada

On a night where three Aztec basketball icons saw their jerseys “returned” to the rafters at Viejas Arena, the San Diego State men’s basketball team returned to form.

Call it a rebound, if you will.

Ranked No. 24 in the USA Today Coaches Poll and receiving votes in the AP Poll, SDSU dominated on the glass and held off a second half surge by the Nevada Wolf Pack to win 71-59 on Wednesday night.

“I thought our defense and rebounding was the difference in the game, and that’s Aztecs basketball,” said head coach Brian Dutcher.
