Losers of their last three games, the San Diego St. Aztecs turned things around on Wednesday night with a 67-58 overtime victory against the Wyoming Cowboys. The Aztecs dominated from the start of the extra time as Jamaal Franklin scored the first five points. The Cowboys couldn't even put the ball through the basket until 1:46 remained in the game, and only a layup and free throw at that.

Chase Tapley missed a layup for the Aztecs with two seconds left on the clock; Wyoming's Larry Nance Jr. missed a jumper as time expired, sending the game to overtime.
