• With its win over San Diego State, Utah finished the regular season with a 25-4 record for the 10th 25-win season in school history. Seven of Utah's 25-win seasons have come since 1990. The previous one was in 2002-03 (25-8).
• Utah has already hit the 20-wins mark for the fourth consecutive season and the 13th time in the last 16 years. The 2004-05 Utes took the fewest games needed (23) to reach 20 wins since taking just 21 games during the 1997-98 season.
• Utah has set the all-time best record in Mountain West Conference play at 13-1. Air Force's 12-2 mark in 2004 was the previous best record. Utah's previous best record in MWC games was 11-3 in 2003.
• The Utes finished with a 16-0 record at home this season. The Runnin' Utes are riding a 17-game home winning streak that ranks tied for the sixth-longest in NCAA Division I.
• In conference home games over the last 11 years, Utah is 78-4 (.951). That mark ranks first in the nation over that period.
• The Utes lead the all-time series with San Diego State 48-9 and have won 28 of the last 30. Utah has taken the past six meetings in the series, dating back to the second time the teams met during the 2002-03 season. In regular-season conference play, the Utes have a 42-8 advantage. Since the formation of the MWC in 1999-2000, Utah is 11-1.
• In Salt Lake City, Utah is 27-1 against SDSU. The Aztecs' only win against the Utes in the Huntsman Center was 74-72 on Feb. 25, 1982. Utah has won 22 consecutive home games over San Diego State since then.
• Andrew Bogut has had double-doubles in 20 of the 29 games this season and ranks first in the nation in that category.
• Bogut has scored in double figures in all 29 games this season, bringing his double-figure scoring streak to 31 consecutive games dating back to last season. He has eighteen 20-point games this season, bringing his career total to 21. Bogut has scored at least 20 points in 17 of the last 22 games.
