Here are three keys that helped determine the outcome.
- BYU had a pair of 10-point leads, one in the first half and one in the second half, only to watch those disappear.
- SDSU went to the free throw line 37 times, making 26, while the Cougars had only 16 attempts from the charity stripe, making 10. BYU also had 20 turnovers, with the Aztecs scoring 17 off those giveaways.
- Spencer Johnson led the way for the Cougars with 17 points and seven rebounds. SDSU was led by Jaedon LeDee, who had 23 points, Darrion Trammell (21) and Nathan Mensah (14 points, 10 rebounds.)
