The Aztecs shot just 33.8 percent from the floor in the victory but played typically stingy defense, allowing the Rebels to hit just 29.7 percent of their field-goal attempts. San Diego State has now held 10 of its 12 opponents to under 40 percent shooting from the floor.

Meanwhile, the Air Force Falcons typically have all the answers at home, but on Colorado State proved too difficult a challenge on Tuesday. Colorado State took its contest against the Falcons 67-59. Rams' forward David Roddy posted a double-double on 13 points and 12 rebounds.

Roddy is now averaging 19.7 points and 8.1 rebounds per game while shooting 57.9 percent from the field and 42.9 percent from the 3-point line. That combination of power and touch makes him one of the most dangerous scorers in the country and even a stingy SDSU defense doesn't have a natural answer for the 252-pounder.
