Last Time the Bulldogs Defeated a Top 10 Team

At 17-0,  San Diego State is one of just two unbeaten major college teams. The Aztecs lead the Mountain West Conference at 6-0. In their last three games, they swept Utah State and Wyoming on the road and overwhelmed Boise State, 83-65, at home. This season, the Aztecs have homecourt wins over Iowa and Utah and prevailed at Brigham Young, 76-71.
Fresno State’s last victory over a Top 10 team came during the Jerry Tarkanian era at Selland Arena. The Bulldogs edged No. 8 Utah 71-68 in a Western Athletic Conference matchup on Feb. 22, 1996.
