Three thoughts on San Diego State’s 73-57 win against Idaho State on Sunday afternoon at Viejas Arena:

1. No. 200

Brian Dutcher won his 200th career game as head coach, which is a modest milestone for many but wildly impressive when you consider where he did it and how quickly he did it.

It came two games into his ninth season, meaning he just missed equaling Mark Few (Gonzaga), Roy Williams (North Carolina) and Jamie Dixon (Pitt), who all did it in eight. Dutcher likely would have hit No. 200 in eight as well had parts of two seasons not been abbreviated by the pandemic.

It also came in just 268 games, which puts him 25th on the all-time Division I list of quickest to 200 victories – two behind Syracuse’s Jim Boeheim and one ahead of UTEP legend Don Haskins and USC’s Eric Musselman.
