On Saturday, the San Diego State Aztecs men’s basketball team made history.
San Diego State was one of four Mountain West to make the NCAA Tournament, the second consecutive season the conference put four teams in the tournament. San Diego State, the highest seed of the quartet (No. 5), showed out emphatically. Roughly 48 hours after its six-point victory over Charleston, with a Sweet 16 berth on the line, the No. 5-seeded Aztecs dominated No. 13 Furman Paladins, 75-52, who pulled off a remarkable upset victory on Thursday against No. 4 Virginia.
SDSU’s 23-point victory was the largest win in any NCAA Tournament game the program has played in throughout its history.
