Miles Byrd scored 19 points and made two highlight-reel plays for No. 23 San Diego State, which blew most of a 19-point lead before beating California Baptist 81-75 for its fourth straight win. Byrd made a no-look bounce pass to Magoon Gwath for a slam dunk and a 54-45 lead with 14:40 to go.

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.
