In what was perhaps its most important game of the year so far, No. 24 ranked San Diego State men’s basketball came away with an 80-68 victory against No. 23 Arizona State on Thursday night at Desert Financial Arena.
Career-high scoring performances from senior guard Jordan Schakel and junior forward Nathan Mensah helped guide the Aztecs (5-0) to the non-conference win.
SDSU was down three players tonight, including sophomore forward Keshad Johnson, freshman forward Che Evans, and freshman guard Keith Dinwiddie Jr. due to COVID-19 contract tracing issues.
The Aztecs got off to a quick start, jumping out to a 14-2 lead through the first five minutes of the game.
