Aztecs lead Rams 24-18 at halftime in Las Vegas

The San Diego State Aztecs (25-7, 14-4 Mountain West) lead the Colorado State University Rams (27-5, 13-5 MW) 24-18 at halftime of the second semifinal game in the 2015 MW Tournament.

Junior forward Winston Shepard began the Aztecs’ night with style, driving right down the middle of the Rams’ defense for a one-handed dunk to start the scoring for the night.

Senior forward Dwayne Polee II leads all scorers with 12 points to go along with his team-leading four rebounds.

Freshman forward Malik Pope left the game midway through the first after rolling his ankle on a CSU player. The U-T San Diego’s Mark Zeigler later reported Pope had a sprained left ankle and his return was questionable.
