Several San Diego State men’s basketball players were interviewed by FBI agents earlier this month concerning the alleged University of San Diego point-shaving scandal, SDSU athletic department officials confirmed last week.

That same day, SDSU officials said in a statement, federal agents questioned Aztec basketball players about the scandal.
