Been watching him all year. He's incredible.

He and Johnson both.

Johnson overcame a heart condition, and performed at a high level this season.

True, but they play in the Big East Conference.

Obviously, I'm thrilled at this outcome. I was at SDSU in 1990s when the basketball program was pretty much at rock bottom, and to see the team reach these heights 30 years later is pretty incredible.

Right now, UConn looks like the best team; they're on a total roll right now. Fortunately, Aztecs don't have to play them until the championship game if they can get past FAU (not taking that for granted).

Saw LB State play SDSU at Viejas Arena in November 2011, a classic OT game except for the Niners losing.

I was really torn. As an alumnus of both Florida and Oklahoma, I have an inherent dislike for both Miami and Texas. Forced to choose, I picked the Canes. Nice accomplishment for them. They had no basketball team from 1971 until 1985. Rick Barry is probably the most famous player to come out of the program before the suspension.

Greatest FT shooter ever?   Especially shooting them underhanded

Even shot a few driving FG attempts underhanded and made them.

Go Aztecs!

I'm not sure what way to go. I have no real affiliation with anyone in the tournament (except for a dislike for Miami). I would like for the winner of the SDSU-FAU game to win it all. Connecticut has already won before, and we don't need anything else for Miami to brag about. FAU would be a great story, but it would also be good for the Mountain West if one of their teams won the tournament.

Excuse me? 

You've obviously forgotten about the incomparable Tito Horford.

And willed the Warriors to the 1975 NBA title.

His brother played for the Gators.

Cal has hired a two-time NBA champion to be its new men’s basketball coach.

The school announced Wednesday that Mark Madsen will be the new leader of the Golden Bears’ hoops program. Madsen, who won two NBA championship rings as a player for the Los Angeles Lakers, comes to Cal after a four-year stint as the head coach at Utah Valley University.

as long as he doesn't try to teach his players how to dance, then this should work out okay.

I’m slightly hopeful, which is a massive improvement. I don’t know how great a fit he’ll be, but I definitely welcome the change.

SDSU/Fla. Atlantic game is terrific 

[Lou]

Great comeback by the Aztecs. 

[PattyD22]

That was simply an unbelievable game.  What a finish by SDSU.  Great game 

[Blarg]

That was the prettiest jumper I have seen in forever.

[Lou]

AZTECS!!!

[Blarg]

My best friend is an Aztec grad, this is Christmas in April.

You’re right @Blarg.  That was a sweet stroke.  Even my wife was cheering and she hates basketball 

[T.G.]

Absolutely fantastic 

[T.G.]

Those offensive rebounds were the difference 

[Kotchman]

Well we have a women singing with hairy arm pits.

Barkley mentioned they were beating them off the boards and with missed free throws where they should have been boxed out by the defense. Great coaching and execution.

I thought SD State’s free throwing was going to cost them.  At one point down the stretch, they were 3-11 at the line.

Usually that won’t get it done.  The rebounds were the great equalizer.
