Aztecs secure a nail-biting tournament title win over Utah State, 62-57

LAS VEGAS — Despite a section of the crowd wearing medical gloves to enhance the sound of their claps, this game was definitely a nail biter.

33 games and 124 days for the Aztecs, yet it all came down to one of each.

The No. 18 San Diego State University men’s basketball team has reached the pinnacle of its season, excluding the NCAA tournament starting on March 16, as they overcame an 11-point deficit to defeat the Utah State University Aggies 62-57 in the Mountain West Conference Tournament title game on Saturday, March 11.

In recent history, the Aztecs have reached the title game 13 times in the last 15 seasons.
