The loss drops the Aztecs to 18-7 and 11-5 in conference play. SDSU was already sitting on the March Madness bubble. Losing the season series to USU, and perhaps losing Gwath for a few games, will certainly count against them on Selection Sunday (assuming they don't win the MWC Tournament and an automatic bid, of course).

Magoon Gwath, SDSU’s 7-foot starting forward whom Utah State coach Jerrod Calhoun said “is playing as good as anybody in the country,” was sitting there with his right knee in a brace and crutches at his feet.
