Kawhi Leonard recorded his 21st double-double with 17 points and 12 rebounds as No. 9 San Diego State claimed a share of the Mountain West Conference regular-season title with a 66-48 victory over visiting Colorado State on Saturday.

Billy White scored 13 points for the Aztecs (29-2, 14-2 Mountain West), who survived 2-for-18 shooting from 3-point range.

The Aztecs share the conference title with No. 3 Brigham Young, which won both games against San Diego State during the regular season.

San Diego State, the No. 2 seed, will meet No. 7 Utah in the quarterfinals of the MWC tournament on Thursday, while No. 4 Colorado State faces No. 5 New Mexico.

Colorado State (19-11, 9-7) was paced by Andy Ogide, who had 11 points and seven rebounds after averaging 23 points and 8.6 rebounds in his last five games.

The game was tied 27-27 at halftime before Ogide gave the Rams their only lead in the second half with a layup 30 seconds into the half.

San Diego State pulled ahead by 11 on D.J. Gay’s 3-pointer with 11:20 remaining, and the Aztecs cruised to their second straight win since losing to Brigham Young on Feb. 26.
