San Diego State Beats Colorado State 71-62, Keeps NCAA Tournament Hopes Alive
San Diego State Aztecs scored 62 points on 19-of-57 shooting to defeat Colorado State in the Mountain West Conference Tournament, led by Rechsteiner's 16 points.
- On Thursday night in Las Vegas, San Diego State outrebounded Colorado State by 12 and won 71-62 to advance in the Mountain West tournament, two wins from an NCAA bid.
- Given an 8th-place rebounding margin in the Mountain West, SDSU needed a board-heavy game, which proved decisive after struggling on the glass earlier in the year.
- Key contributors included Byrd, Compton and Dixon-Waters, with Byrd adding 8 rebounds and Compton 11 points, helping SDSU control the game with a 43-31 rebounding margin.
- The loss ended Colorado State's eight-game winning streak and likely halted their NCAA bids, though NIT or Crown options remain possible as they prepare to join the Pac-12.
- Dutcher credited matching physicality and used nine players who each logged at least 15 minutes to help SDSU advance, reflecting a deliberate response to CSU's style.
