The storyline has haunted them all season.
Even when it appeared they turned the page to a new chapter, it had a way to blow the pages back to that haunting chapter, like most horror movies do just when all seems too well for the protagonist.
The storyline: blown double-digit leads. The protagonist: the 2016-17 San Diego State men’s basketball team.
Once again, the Aztecs had to confront this nightmarish chapter in the Mountain West tournament semifinals against a team that gave new life to the storyline on both occasions during the regular season: Colorado State.
