SDSU vs. Wyoming

When: 5 p.m. Saturday

Where: Viejas Arena

On the air: CBS Sports Network; 760-AM

Records: SDSU is 14-5 (7-3); Wyoming is 11-10 (4-6)

Series history: SDSU leads 51-41, winning 11 straight overall and 16 straight at Viejas Arena. The last home loss came in 2007, when Wyoming scored a basket with 4.9 seconds left to win 66-65.  They met only once last season, an 81-65 Aztecs win in San Diego.

Aztecs update: They get a much-needed bye after this and an extra week for starting center Jared Coleman-Jones to heal his injured shoulder. Coleman-Jones missed two weeks of preseason practice in October when the shoulder popped out. It happened again at Nevada last Saturday, and the 6-foot-10 senior sat out Tuesday’s nervy 71-68 home win against San Jose State (which dropped the Aztecs five spots in the Kenpom metric to 42nd). Coach Brian Dutcher said he’ll be a game-time decision, although there is some thought to not pushing it with the bye ahead. Sophomore Miles Heide started in his place Tuesday. The Aztecs continue to struggle at Viejas Arena: They have already lost three times this season after going 70-6 over the previous five. In addition, they trailed 20-8 against Air Force and 33-12 against San Jose State before rallying. With another win, Dutcher will become the fourth coach in Mountain West history with 100 conference victories. The others: Steve Fisher (168), Boise State’s Leon Rice (159) and Steve Alford (128) with New Mexico and Nevada. Ted Leitner, in his final season as SDSU’s radio commentator, will be honored in a halftime ceremony that will include more than a dozen former players.

Cowboys update: They have outperformed expectations under first-year coach Sundance Wicks, who grew up in the state and was a former assistant. They have wins against Nevada at home and UNLV away, and the losses include a near miss against New Mexico. The star is Obi Agbim, a 6-3 senior guard who spent one year at a junior college and three in Division II. He averages 18.1 points per game, second in the Mountain West behind New Mexico guard Donovan Dent (19.6), and leads the conference (and is fourth nationally) in 3-point accuracy at 47.0%. The next highest scorers are senior guards Jordan Nesbitt (8.6 ppg) and Cody Newton (8.4 ppg), who both come off the bench. The Cowboys prefer a deliberate tempo, probing multiple sides of the floor deep into the shot clock. They rank 354th nationally in average possession length at 19.8 seconds. In conference games, they’re averaging 63.6 points per game; only 0-10 Air Force scores less at 60.1. The Cowboys can, however, get hot from deep; they made 17 3-pointers in Tuesday’s 83-72 overtime win against Fresno State. That brings shudders to Dutcher, whose team just surrendered 15 3s against San Jose State, the most by an SDSU team in a Mountain West game. Wyoming is 183rd in Kenpom, which projects a 71-55 Aztecs win.

Next up: Feb. 8 at Colorado State (7 p.m. PST, CBSSN)
