SAN DIEGO – After a hard-fought victory at Fresno State last week, and in sole possession of first place in the Mountain West, the San Diego State men's basketball team slots into this week's Associated Press Top 25 Poll at No. 22 and the USA Today Coaches Poll at No. 20. The Aztecs totaled 336 points in the AP poll, garnered 180 in the Coaches poll, and remains the only program in the conference to be ranked in either.
With its appearance in this week's AP poll, San Diego State is ranked for the 98th week since the start of the 2010-11 season, more than any other program in the state of California and the 18th most in the nation in that time frame.
