After Eight Days Without a Game, San Diego State Faces Air Force in Fisher's 266th Game with Aztecs 
San Diego State coach Steve Fisher will guide his Aztec squad for the 266th time on Wednesday, matching his total games coached at Michigan, as the Aztecs (15-6 overall; 5-2 MWC) play host to Air Force (12-8 overall; 4-3 MWC).
Game time is set for 8 p.m. PT and the contest will be broadcast by The Mtn. The game can also be heard on the flagship home of San Diego State athletics, AM 600 KOGO.
The Aztecs snapped a brief two-game losing streak (their first in 34 games) on Tuesday, Jan. 29, with a dramatic 83-82 victory at Colorado State.
The Aztecs rallied from a seven-point second-half deficit to defeat the Rams and improve to 7-4 in games away from Cox Arena this season. For just the fifth time in school history and the third time in Mountain West Conference history, three players recorded a double-double.
Junior center Ryan Amoroso scored a season-high 23 points and added 11 rebounds, while Billy White posted 17 points and a career-high 10 rebounds. Junior forward Lorrenzo Wade added 18 points, 10 rebounds and five assists for the Aztecs.
Trailing by two points with 20.9 seconds to play, Wade, who is making a push for conference player of the year, connected on a three-point field goal to lift San Diego State to a one-point win.
At 15-6, San Diego State has matched its best start in the last 23 seasons and the 5-2 conference record after seven games is the third-best mark for an Aztec squad in 38 Division I seasons.
Fisher will forever be linked for his accomplishments on the national stage at Michigan, but one may be hard-pressed to find a better coaching job than what he has done with the 2007-08 Aztecs. Having graduated the school's and MWC's all-time leading scorer in Brandon Heath and all-conference performer Mohamed Abukar and with just two returning starters, San Diego State was picked for a tie for fourth place in the preseason poll. Pile on injuries to two-year starting point guard Richie Williams and forward Tim Shelton, and not many people thought the Aztecs would be in the hunt. But SDSU is out of the gate at 5-2 in league play with a pair of three-point losses that came down to the game's final play.
