San Diego State is playing some of the best basketball in the country with a 14-1 record which includes wins over Kansas, Marquette, Creighton and their only loss came to Arizona back in early November.
The Aztecs are the only Mountain West team ranked in the latest polls, and with loses by a few other teams and a win over Air Force on Sunday placed them No. 10 in the AP poll and No. 11 in the coaches poll. This is the second time in school history that the Aztecs have reached the top 10. The last time was fairly recently back in 2010-11 season and that was the year San Diego State finished the regular season at 34-3.
