San Diego State’s Magoon Gwath, a rising star in college basketball, suffered a knee injury in a game against Utah State. Despite hopes that he will return this season, his absence proved detrimental as the Aztecs suffered a 79-71 loss to the Aggies, impacting their NCAA Tournament chances.
Struggling with their offense early on, SDSU managed to take the lead in the second half but faltered in the final minutes, allowing Utah State to go on a crucial run. The loss dropped the Aztecs to 18-7 overall, with a tough matchup against New Mexico looming.
Gwath’s injury and the team’s inconsistent performance raise concerns about their tournament prospects. With the pressure mounting, SDSU will need to regroup quickly and make a strong push in the remaining games to secure a spot in March Madness. The upcoming game against New Mexico will be a pivotal test for the Aztecs as they strive to bounce back from this setback.
