    The hand-painted sign by a BYU fan told San Diego State players to "FredetteAboutIt."

    But the biggest showdown in Mountain West Conference history was about more than Jimmer Fredette and the 43 points he scored.

    The ninth-ranked Cougars showed they also have plenty of talented big men in Wednesday night's 71-58 victory over No. 4 San Diego State that left No. 1 Ohio State as the only unbeaten team in the nation.

    "It was a physical game and we stayed with them for about 35 minutes, but we just couldn't hang for 40," San Diego State coach Steve Fisher said. "This team is really good and our team is really good. I think we are both capable of beating any team anywhere at any time."

    BYU (20-1, 6-0) has won 10 straight, and six in a row at home against San Diego State (20-1, 5-1).
