SAN DIEGO — BYU can take a significant step toward winning its second outright Mountain West men's basketball title tonight when the Cougars invade Cox Arena, a place they've struggled with San Diego State the past two seasons.
The Cougars stand 21-5 overall and 10-1 in league play and hold a two-game lead over second-place UNLV, which plays at Wyoming today. The Aztecs (17-9, 7-5) are 9-3 at home, a place Steve Fisher's team tends to get fired up for the Cougars.
Although SDSU is 5-5 in its last 10 games and misses second-leading scorer Kyle Spain, whom Fisher suspended for the rest of the season, BYU players know they will have to bring their A-game if they want to extend their nine-game winning streak.
