SDSU has won a series-record nine games in a row, including last season's 57-48 victory inside Viejas Arena.
Winners of 12 of the last 13 meetings with the Toreros, the Aztecs own a 29-17 all-time record vs. San Diego and are 0-1 in true neutral-court contests. SDSU head coach Steve Fisher is 12-4 all-time against the Toreros.
The back-to-back Mountain West regular-season champions, who return three starters, will enter the upcoming campaign fresh off their sixth straight NCAA tournament berth. SDSU is one of eight schools nationally to have reached the NCAAs six years in a row and one of nine programs in America to reach the Round of 32 three straight seasons. Overall, San Diego State finished 2014-15 with a 27-9 record (14-4 Mountain West), its 10th consecutive 20-win campaign and seventh straight with at least 23 victories.
