With the start of the Aztec men’s basketball season upon us, many fans are left to wonder where last season’s Mountain Western Conference championship-winning team has gone off to.
The 2020-2021 Aztecs basketball team ran through their competition with a 16-3 MWC record and an overall record of 23-5. The Aztecs finished the season ranked No. 16 in the AP Top 25 but fell in the first round of March Madness to Syracuse in a game that could haunt Aztec fans for years to come after Buddy Boeheim’s monster 30-point game.
The good news for the Aztecs is redemption may still be in store.
