SAN DIEGO (AP) — Jimmer Fredette scored 25 points and Charles Abouo added 18 as No. 7 BYU spoiled the biggest game in No. 6 San Diego State’s history, running away with an 80-67 victory Saturday to take a one-game lead in the Mountain West Conference.

The Cougars (27-2, 13-1) swept the season series against the Aztecs (27-2, 12-2). The second loss came in one of the most eagerly anticipated games in this city’s history. It was SDSU’s first loss in 14 games this season at Viejas Arena. BYU also swept both games last season.

The Aztecs couldn’t stop Fredette even by rotating three players on him defensively. Fredette not only led four Cougars in double figures, but had nine assists.

Fredette, who scored 43 points in BYU’s 71-58 win over the Aztecs last month, helped the Cougars take control after SDSU pulled to 47-44 on James Rahon’s 3-pointer with just over 13 minutes to play. Fredette made a 3-pointer and converted two three-point plays, and Jackson Emery made two 3-pointers as BYU took its biggest lead, 67-54, with 8:15 left.

Noah Hartsock had 15 points for BYU and Emery added 13.

BYU made 14 of 24 3-point shots, including four each by Fredette and Abouo. SDSU only made six of 17 from behind the arc.

Kawhi Leonard had 17 points and 13 rebounds for his 20th double-double this season.

No. 17 Syracuse 58, No. 11 Georgetown 51

WASHINGTON (AP) — Scoop Jardine had 17 points and seven assists to lead Syracuse.

The Orange (24-6, 11-6) won their fourth consecutive game by pulling away down the stretch after the teams were tied at 45 with 7 minutes left.

Austin Freeman scored 16 points for the Hoyas (21-8, 10-7), who

were playing their first game since point guard Chris Wright hurt his non-shooting hand and underwent surgery.

Georgetown ranks No. 6 in the country in field-goal percentage at 48.9, but Syracuse limited the Hoyas to 36 percent (18 for 50).

James Southerland scored seven points in a 9-2 run by the Orange that put them ahead 33-23 at halftime.

The visitors held the Hoyas to 9-of-26 shooting in the half, including 2 of 12 on 3-pointers.

Syracuse led 37-25 on Rick Jackson’s dunk 2 1/2 minutes into the second half. When freshman Nate Lubick scored his first two baskets of the game on consecutive possessions — the second a putback of Freeman’s missed 3-pointer with 10 minutes to go — the hosts were ahead 45-43, their first lead since 25 seconds into the game.

No. 23 St. John’s 81, No. 15 Villanova 68

St. John’s raced to a 14-point lead in the opening minutes, then held on down the stretch to hold off the struggling Wildcats (21-8, 9-7).

D.J. Kennedy had 12 points and 14 rebounds for St. John’s.
