No. 22/22 SDSU Plays Host to Chicago State in Final Non-Conference Tilt
* No. 22/22 San Diego State puts the finishing touches on its non-conference schedule on Tuesday as it welcomes Chicago State to Viejas Arena. Game time is set for 7 p.m. PT and tickets for the game are half-off. Channel 4 San Diego will televise the game live locally. The Mtn., meanwhile, will simulcast the first-ever meeting between the schools on a national scale.
* The Aztecs have won a season-best six straight games and are off to the second-best Division I start in school history at 13-2. Last year's record-setting squad won at least seven games in a row three times, including 20 straight to open the campaign.
* San Diego State played only once last week and defeated San Diego Christian, 83-52, at Viejas Arena. The Aztecs, who have not suffered a setback since Nov. 30, had five players score in double figures led by DeShawn Stephens' career-high 18 points. The junior connected on a career-high six free throws (6-8 FT) and grabbed eight rebounds. Frontcourt teammate Garrett Green added 14 points - his third straight double-figure scoring game - on a career-best 10-for-14 showing from the charity stripe.
A San Diego State Win Would...
* Extend San Diego State's winning streak to 55 games against foes not ranked the USA Today/ESPN Coaches' Top-25 Poll.
* Extend SDSU's winning streak to seven games, which would match the ninth-longest winning streak in school history.
* Extend SDSU's non-league home winning streak vs. teams not ranked in the Coaches' poll to 33 games.
* Give the Aztecs a 14-2 record, which would extend the second-best start to a season in the school's Division I history. The 2010-11 squad started its campaign with a 20-0 record.
* Give San Diego State an overall record of 48-5 since the start of the 2010-11 season.
