Miles Byrd scored 15 of his 19 points in the second half and Nick Boyd finished with 16 points as No. 23 San Diego State won its fourth straight game by holding on for an 81-75 victory over visiting Cal Baptist on Wednesday.

San Diego State coach Brian Dutcher talked getting through Wednesday night’s game against Cal Baptist unscathed and getting to a 10-day break “so we can fix some things.” He’ll have a long list. The 23rd-ranked Aztecs nearly blew a 19-point lead in the second half before hanging on for a 81-75 win against a veteran Lancers team that starts a junior and four seniors.
