What to Know
San Diego State is 9-1 against the Wolf Pack since January of 2020, and they’ll have a chance to extend that success on Friday. Both teams will face off in a Mountain West battle at 8:00 p.m. ET at Lawlor Events Center. Both teams come into the contest bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
On Tuesday, the Aztecs beat the Falcons 77-64. The victory made it back-to-back wins for San Diego State.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead San Diego State to victory, but perhaps none more so than Jaedon LeDee, who almost dropped a double-double on 14 points and nine rebounds. LeDee didn’t help San Diego State’s cause all that much against the Aggies on Saturday but the same can’t be said for this game. Reese Waters was another key contributor, scoring 15 points.
Utah State typically has all the answers at home, but on Tuesday Nevada proved too difficult a challenge. They walked away with a 77-63 win over the Aggies.
Nick Davidson was the offensive standout of the match as he dropped a double-double on 25 points and ten rebounds. As a matter of fact, that’s the most points he has scored all season. Another player making a difference was Kenan Blackshear, who scored 18 points along with two steals.
The Aztecs’ victory ended a three-game drought on the road and puts them at 18-5. As for the Wolf Pack, they have been performing well recently as they’ve won three of their last four matchups, which somehow isn’t as good as their 18-5 record this season.
Some high-performance offense is likely on the agenda as both teams are some of the highest scoring teams in the league. San Diego State hasn’t had any problem running up the score this season, having averaged 76.3 points per game. However, it’s not like Nevada struggles in that department as they’ve been averaging 76.6 points per game. With both teams so easily able to put up points, the only question left is who can run the score up higher.
San Diego State beat the Wolf Pack 71-59 when the teams last played back in January. The rematch might be a little tougher for San Diego State since the squad won’t have the home-court advantage this time around. We’ll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
