The San Diego State men’s basketball team was right where it wanted to be.
The team was playing George Washington Universirty in Madison Square Garden on ESPN Tuesday night with a chance to reach the first NIT final in school history, somewhat of a consolation for just being left out of the NCAA tournament.
Even Winston Shepard said it after the team beat Georgia Tech in the quarterfinals:
“By the time we get to New York it’ll be eight teams left in the country … if you’re still playing at this point, your team is pretty special.
