Aztecs blow out Utah State, advance to Mountain West Conference championship game

With 7:25 left to play in the first half of the Mountain West Conference Tournament semi-finals, Utah State guard Javon Jackson hit a 3-pointer to give the Aggies a 34-17 lead over San Diego State. All-American Jaedon LeDee was on the bench with foul trouble. Everything seemed to be going against the Aztecs.

Lamont Butler, Micah Parrish, Darrion Trammell, and Reese Waters also reached double-digits, the first time SDSU has had five players score at least 10 points since the third game of the season against Long Beach State. After losing the last two games of the regular season the Aztecs have bounced back nicely, winning two straight to start tournament season.Sign up for NBC San Diego newsletters."I say you get better or you get worse and we're getting better.
