Not making the NCAA tournament was a tough pill to swallow for the San Diego State men’s basketball team after making it the past seven seasons.
There was one silver lining though: making it to at least the semifinals of the NIT and getting a chance to play in Madison Square Garden.
The Aztecs accomplished that mission Wednesday night as they took down Georgia Tech, 72-56, in front of another rocking, sold-out Viejas Arena crowd.
It’s off to New York now for the No. 2 seed Aztecs, who will take on No. 4 seed George Washington on March 29.
