The Mustangs started slowly and found themselves in a 15-6 hole after 8 minutes of play. Cal Poly made a run that got them close but a series of turnovers late in the half led to San Diego State taking a 37-26 halftime lead. With 15 minutes left in the game the Mustangs trailed by 18 points due to a rash of turnovers, poor shooting, and porous defense. Things didn’t improve the rest of the way as San Diego State knocked off Cal Poly easily. The Mustangs made 26 turnovers. The only Cal Poly player scoring in double figures was SG Jase Carroll with just 10 points. Coach Fred Aura said, “We looked bad, but give the Aztecs credit. They applied a great defense that kept us off-balance the entire game.”
