Key Game Moments
The game opened with a 6-0 run by San Diego State, but Nevada quickly responded with a 6-0 run of their own. This back-and-forth continued throughout the first half, with Nevada closing the gap to just three points at the break after outscoring the Aztecs 13-11 in the second quarter. However, the team faltered in the third and fourth quarters.
San Diego State capitalized on Nevada’s scoring droughts, particularly a five-minute stretch in the fourth quarter where the Pack failed to score. While Nevada managed a 7-0 run later in the fourth, the deficit proved too large to overcome.
