That performance was crucial because the Aztecs were outscored by one in the second despite putting up one more than they did in the first with 41. Nick Boyd added 16 points and a career high eight assists. San Diego State came out the gate firing after halftime scoring eight of its first nine baskets in the second. The Aztecs went on a 14-2 scoring run and racked up a 19-point lead. But California Baptist went on a 24-9 run of its own to get the game back within two possessions. San Diego State must keep its foot on the gas if it is going to keep its winning ways rolling tonight. The Aztecs still should be the favorite tonight though.
Cal is coming off a 84-66 win against Northwestern State that ended a three-game losing streak last Saturday. Andrej Stojakovic had a phenomenal game scoring a career-high 31 points shooting 10-of-14 from the field and added seven rebounds, four assists and three blocks. Stojakovic has scored 20 or more points in six of the last eight games for Cal. He will likely need at least that again tonight to pull of this upset against a ranked opponent.
