SALT LAKE CITY - The Runnin' Ute basketball team (9-8, 2-1 MWC) returns home to host San Diego State (13-5, 2-2 MWC) Tuesday at the Jon M. Huntsman Center.

San Diego State is 4-5 on the road this year, including an 0-2 mark in MWC road games.
Utah owns a 53-13 (.803) record all-time against the Aztecs, including a 29-2 mark at home. The Utes have won three consecutive meetings against SDSU in Salt Lake City and have not dropped a home contest in the series since Jan. 11, 2006. Utah captured two of the three contests between the two teams last year, splitting the respective home games, and topping the Aztecs 52-50 to win the MWC Tournament in Las Vegas. In the three meetings last year, former Ute Luke Nevill was Utah's leading scorer (15.7 ppg), while the highest-scoring current Ute was junior guard Carlon Brown (Riverside, Calif.) at 7.3 points per game.
Utah is coming off a 73-69 win at UNLV as the Utes captured their first victory over the Rebels at the Thomas & Mack Center since 2005. Brown was Utah's top scorer with 16 points as he raised his season-leading average to 12.9 ppg.
Senior forward Kim Tillie (Cagnes-sur-Mer, France) is the Utes' leading rebounder at 6.1 per contest. He saw his first conference action against UNLV after missing two games following arthroscopic knee surgery. Sophomore center David Foster (Lake Forest, Calif.) scored a career-high 13 points and added six rebounds and six blocks as well. Foster is the nation's No. 5-ranked shot-blocker at 4.3 per game.
