The weakest San Diego State basketball team in many seasons went to the Thomas & Mack Center and didn’t play well.
And beat UNLV by double digits.
The Aztecs slowly pulled away in the second half of Tuesday’s game, finally emerging with a 64-51 victory.
For a UNLV team (9-10, 2-4 Mountain West) hoping to build on its 71-66 upset victory at New Mexico a week earlier, the Rebels had their opportunities against the Aztecs (11-7, 3-3), but failed to capitalize.
This was the Aztecs’ first road victory of the season, having lost the first five road games.
