San Diego State went into Wednesday night’s matchup with Wyoming looking to avenge a stunning early-season loss on the road at the Cowboys’ Arena-Auditorium.
They got what they were looking for in the form of an 88-57 beat-down behind a monster game from Kawhi Leonard.
The freshman standout scored a career-high 26 points to go with 8 rebounds as the Aztecs (17-7, 6-4 MWC) recovered from a slow start to control the game. Leonard described his mindset coming into the game, and how his teammates helped him achieve his career high.
Wyoming (9-15, 2-8 MWC) opened the game playing active defense and pushing the ball off of early Aztec turnovers. Hot Cowboys shooting and pressure on the ball set the early tone. SDSU trailed 25-19 before its athletic prowess took over.
But the Aztecs tied the game at 27 on a fast break that started with a Billy White (10 points, 3 rebounds) block and ended with a White dunk. They never looked back, taking an eight-point lead to the half. Aztecs Head Coach Steve Fisher talked about this being one of the more complete games his team has played so far this season.
