San Diego State Looks to Stay Perfect in the MWC; Plays Host to Wyoming Saturday Night on National Television 
Winners of nine consecutive conference home games and owners of a 32-4 overall home record in its last 36 games at Cox Arena, San Diego State (13-4; 3-0 MWC) plays host to Wyoming (6-9; 0-3 MWC) on Saturday night at Cox Arena.
Tip time is set for 8:05 p.m. PT, with the contest being broadcast nationally by CSTV (San Diego Cox Cable channel 321, San Diego/North County Time Warner channel 415, DirecTV channel 610, and Dish Network channel 152). The game can also be heard on the Aztec flagship radio station, AM 600 KOGO.
SDSU, which is off to its best start in 24 seasons, has matched its best 17-game record in the last 41 seasons and is 3-0 in conference play for the first time since the 1984-85 team opened WAC play 4-0, is facing a Wyoming squad that swept the season series from the Aztecs last season.
In fact, San Diego State has won the most recent encounter with six of the eight other MWC schools. Only Colorado State, which defeated SDSU in the MWC tournament last season after the Aztecs had won the five previous meetings, and Wyoming, which ended a three-game SDSU winning streak with a victory in the first game last season, have won their most recent encounter with SDSU.
On Wednesday, San Diego State took sole possession of first place in the conference race, with a 64-56 overtime victory over Utah at Cox Arena. The Aztecs rallied from an 11-point deficit and a 10-point second-half disadvantage to knock off the Utes. The 10-point second-half rally is the seventh-largest of the Steve Fisher era and marked the second straight game that Aztecs have rallied from at least 10 points down in a game to claim a win (SDSU trailed New Mexico by 14 points in the first half on Jan. 12).
Junior forward Lorrenzo Wade posted his second consecutive 20-plus scoring game (first time in his career) and reached the plateau for the third time this season and the fourth time in his career, with a team-high 20 points and eight rebounds. Junior forward Kyle Spain scored 16 of his 19 points after intermission. Freshman forward Billy White added 11 points and five rebounds and junior center Ryan Amoroso tallied 10 points and eight rebounds as well as defended Utah's 7-1 center Luke Nevill.
The Aztecs trailed the final 14:27 of the first half and were down 10 points at intermission, but used a 14-0 run to open the second half to get back in the game. During the run, the Aztecs were 5-5 from the field, 2-2 from three-point range and 2-2 from the line. In addition, SDSU held the Utes to 0-5 field goal shooting and forced three turnovers.
In overtime, White followed his own miss to give SDSU a 56-54 lead with 2:45 to play. The Aztecs proceeded to make all eight of their free throws in the extra session to secure the victory.
SDSU committed just nine turnovers in the game and owned a 20-9 advantage in points off of turnovers.
