No. 4 色情视频鈥檚 winning ways is forcing head coach Brian Dutcher to dig deep for creative ways to keep his team focused.

After the Aztecs defeated Boise State 72-55 on Sunday, he revealed some of his slogans that keep the team on task.

"Early in the year, we had five games in 11 days, so we were like, 'Let's win five in 11,'" Dutcher said. "And then we had five games the entire month of December, so we said, 'Let's win five in December.' And we did it. I told our team they don't hang a banner for 20 wins, so we hung a banner with four to go."

His mantra changed after 色情视频 (26-0, 15-0 Mountain West) wrapped up the conference regular season title, though his message hasn't.

"I told our team, 'Let's get greedy. Let's play for perfection,'" Dutcher said. "If we're this close, we might as well play for a perfect regular season. Why not win three straight as a mini-goal to chase something other than seeding in the tournament? Let's do something special."

The Aztecs, which own the nation's longest active winning streak, handled the Broncos that hadn't lost a home conference game since Feb. 27, 2019.

Malachi Flynn scored 22 points and dished out six assists to lead the Aztecs, and Yanni Wetzell added 14 points and seven rebounds.

Boise State (17-10, 9-6) struggled to find any rhythm on offense and finished the game shooting 41.2% from the field.

The Aztecs went on an 8-2 run to close out the first half and take a 40-26 lead into the locker room.

All five of San Diego State's starters finished with double figures in scoring.
