Toughest Loss #1 Though the Aztecs picked up a win against BYU in their first conference game, SDSU has struggled this season. Playing a WestCoast heavy nonconference schedule, the Aztecs have suffered losses to the likes of California, No. 14 Washington, UC Santa Barbara and Loyola Marymount. SDSU is led by sophomores Marcus Slaughter and Brandon Heath. Slaughter, the 6foot-8-inch forward, averages 18.4 points and 8.6 rebounds per contest. Heath, a quick guard with a knack for getting to the basket, is currently averaging 16.9 points per game. Best Win SDSU 63—Cal State FuIIerton 60 Dec. 22, 2004 The Aztecs snapped a fourgame losing streak as Marcus Slaughter scored 15 points and hauled in 13 rebounds.

Colorado State failed to pick up the critical road win against an SEC opponent when Auburn hit four consecutive free throws in overtime to finish off the Rams for good. Toughest Loss # 2 Purdue 69-CSU 68 Dec. 11, 2004 Despite trailing for most of the second half, Colorado State made a charge in the final minutes to take a onepoint lead with less than 30 seconds remaining in the game. On the ensuing possession, Purdue was fouled and hit both free throws to regain the lead. With 8.9 seconds, the Rams got the ball, but Colorado State had the ball stolen on the inbounds play and the Boilermakers walked away with the 'W.' Wyoming (8-6, 0-1) Conference Rank—No. 6 The Cowboys have had an up and down non-conference season that featured wins against the likes of Princeton and Washington State, but also included with 8.7 per game. Best Win UNLV 73—Cal 72 Dec. 1, 2004 Rarely used forward Andy Hannan scored the gamewinning field goal with an 18foot jumper with only .4 seconds remaining in the game.

The Cowboys led throughout, but a late surge by UNLV brought the Rebels to within eight with less than two minutes remaining. San Diego 95— Wyoming 88 Dec. 28, 2004 (6-10, 0-1) BYU The Cowboys suffered their first home loss of the season as the Toreros came to Laramie and made an embarrassment out of the home team. Wyoming trailed by as many as 15 in the second half before making a late run to make the score respectable. Dunn scored 17 points and grabbed 12 rebounds.

"They didn't come out after us and we didn't go in against them." Smith said the slowdown was implemented because BFA (7-4) has a strong scoring presence, while Milton (2-8) does not.
