Game Tidbits:
* San Diego State, which has matched its best record after 15 games in 39 seasons at the Division I level, can post its best 16-game mark with a victory on Wednesday. Since moving to Division I prior to the 1970-71 season, no SDSU squad has won 13 of its first 16 games. In fact, a win would give the Aztecs their third-best start in 88 seasons of basketball.
* Through two league games, SDSU's defense has continued to shine, allowing just 53.5 points and 37.5 percent field-goal shooting to date. In addition, the Aztecs have 16 total turnovers through two contests, including zero for sophomore guard D.J. Gay (69 minutes) and one for senior guard Richie Williams (65 minutes).
