San Diego State overcame a halftime deficit to win in a conference game for the first time this season. Overall, it was the third time SDSU has rallied from a deficit at intermission. In the first meeting between the teams, Boise State outrebounded San Diego State, 33-25. This time, SDSU won the rebounding battle 43-25 and is 12-1 when outrebounding its opponent this season San Diego State’s seven blocked shots tied a season high.

“We’re excited for our opportunity on Wednesday, playing the No. 6 team in the country, 24-1, and in all honesty, a team capable of making a run to the Final Four,” SDSU coach Brian Dutcher said. “I’m sure we will get their full attention also, having been fortunate enough to beat them twice at the end of last year. I know that we have been circled on their schedule for a long time. … We’ll just have to set a defensive game plan to try to slow them down. The pace they play at is the pace they play at; we’re not going to be able to change that.”
