March Madness: San Diego State stifles Alabama, Brandon Miller to stun NCAA tournament's No. 1 seed in Sweet 16

No. 1 seed Alabama is done.

San Diego State's defense swarmed the Crimson Tide on Friday while an offensive outburst from senior guard Darrion Trammell sealed the deal as the Aztecs upended the Crimson Tide, 71-64 in the Sweet 16. The win eliminates the tournament's No. 1 overall seed and likely ends the collegiate career of Alabama star Brandon Miller.

The Aztecs set the tone from the opening tip. Twelve minutes into the game, Alabama had as many turnovers (four) as it did made field goals. Miller started 0-4 from the field and briefly left the game at the 14:49 mark of the first half after picking up his second foul.
