SAN DIEGO (AP) — Laedon LaDee scored 26 points and Darrion Trammell added 21 to help No. 19 San Diego State beat rival BYU 82-75 on Friday night.

San Diego State led by two with 2 minutes left when Trammell hit a 3-pointer with the shot clock winding down to almost zero. BYU then respond to get back within two with 83 seconds left.

LaDee sealed the game with a layup that gave the Aztecs a five-point lead.

Spencer Johnson scored 17 points and Rudi Williams added 15 for BYU.

After a lackluster opening half, the Aztecs turned up their offense in the back-and-forth second half, but were unable to solve BYU’s aggressive defense until the final minutes.

BIG PICTURE:

San Diego State: Defending Mountain West champions, the Aztecs are widely favored to win the league title again under sixth-year coach Brian Dutcher.

BYU: In the final minutes, the Cougars’ relative inexperience hampered their efforts to keep pace with SDSU’s dominant size, strength, and long-range shooting.

UP NEXT:

BYU: faces Missouri State on Wednesday.

San Diego State: faces Stanford on Tuesday before heading to the Maui Classic.
