Malcolm Thomas had 20 points and 13 rebounds and No. 6 San Diego State set a school record for wins with a 70-58 victory at Air Force on Saturday.
Kawhi Leonard recorded his 19th double-double with 18 points and 15 rebounds as the Aztecs (27-1, 12-1 Mountain West) won their seventh straight. Chase Tapley scored 10 points and D.J. Gay added nine.
Michael Lyons scored 18 points to pace Air Force (13-12, 4-8), which lost its third straight. Derek Brooks tallied 15 points and Tom Fow added 12. The Falcons were outrebounded 49-22.
San Diego State, which trailed 32-31 at halftime after shooting 33.3 percent from the field, led by one midway through the second half. The Aztecs then went on a 16-5 run, and the Falcons never came closer than seven down the stretch.
San Diego State now turns its attention to the highly anticipated home game on Feb. 26 against No. 8 BYU, which handed the Aztecs their only loss last month.
