Senior point guard Xavier Thames scored a career-high 29 points as San Diego State held off a late rally to beat No. 25 Marquette, 67-59, in the championship game of the Wooden Legacy on Sunday night at Anaheim.
The score was tied at 53-53 with 3 minutes 25 seconds left at Honda Center, but then the Aztecs (5-1) went on a 14-4 run to knock off their second top-25 opponent in two games.
Josh Davis had a game-high 11 rebounds for the Aztecs and joined Thames on the all-tournament team.
