BYU Report: BYU vs. San Diego St.  January 21, 1993

FINAL SCORE: BYU 76, SDSU 64

BYU hosted the Aztecs of San Diego State in a late game to accomodate
ESPN. Coming into the game, the Aztecs held a 31 game losing streak
against Division I opponents. BYU was listed as a 28 point favorite.

This was one of those game where SDSU had nothing to lose and they
played very well. The game started off as a 3-point shooting contest.
After 11 minutes, SDSU had hit 4 of 5 three-point shots and BYU had
countered with 5 of 7 of their own and the score, surprisingly, was
tied at 23-23.

At that point, SDSU went on a 10-2 run to take an eight point lead at
33-25. BYU managed to pull back to within four points at 41-37 at
halftime.

The halftime stats showed that BYU was not playing badly. They outshot
the Aztecs 67% to 50% from the field. Both teams were 5 of 7 from
3-point land in the first half. BYU only had four turnovers in the
first half. The difference was that San Diego took 12 more shots than
BYU in the first half, mainly due to offensive rebounding. The taller
Cougars were having a tough time boxing out on the boards and the
Aztecs had something like a 11-1 offensive rebound advantage in the
half.

In the second half, BYU kept getting opportunities to tie the game and
either committing the turnover or missing the shot and the Aztecs
would pull back out to a four point lead. Finally, on the strength of
three free throws by Gary Trost and a field goal by Jared Miller, BYU
tied the game at 51-51 with about 8:00 minutes left in the game.
Miller got hot at that point and gave BYU a 57-54 lead which the
Cougars never surrendered.

The Aztec's fate was sealed at the 6:00 mark when their 6'11' center,
McNull (sp?), fouled out of the game. This freed the Cougars to take
over on the boards and inside the paint and they finished the contest
with a 23-10 run to take a hard won 76-64 victory.

Due to the late game, complete game stats were not published in this
morning's pager. Nick Sanderson lead the Cougars with 16 points
followed by Nixon with 15, Larson 14, Miller 12, and Reid with 10.
Attendance was only 11,762.
