SAN DIEGO (AP) - Randy Holcomb scored a season-high 26 points and Al Faux added 22, leading San Diego State to an 84-70 win Thursday over Texas A&M-Corpus Christi.
San Diego State (9-3) matched its win total for the last two seasons with its fifth consecutive victory, equaling the Aztecs' longest winning streak since the 1996-97 season.
Myron Epps scored 21 points on 8-of-10 shooting. Holcomb grabbed a season-high 13 rebounds with Epps getting 12.
San Diego State, which led 42-29 at halftime, shot 59.2 percent from the field, while holding the Islanders to just 34.2 percent shooting.
The Aztecs increased their lead to 55-38 five minutes into the second half.
The Islanders' Michael Hicks, averaging 26.1 points, was held to 16 points, in part due to foul trouble that limited him to 21 minutes before he fouled out with 4:49 left.
Lee Denmon scored 16 points for Texas A&M-Corpus Christi (6-8).
