Stars of the Aztecs Sweet 16 runs:
2011: Kawhi
2104: X Thames
2023: The whole damn squad!
What a team!
Let's keep this run going! Play our best and we can beat anyone!
How about that crowd last night!?
Been going to Aztecs games since 2000 and that was the best "black/white/red out" I've seen.
Pretty much EVERYONE got the memo, blacked out and showed out!!
And it was loud af!
Great job everyone! We were all a big part of that win
Shout out to
@adamseiko2
for his lock-down defense on Jalen Harris in the 2nd half of tonight's game.
Harris was on fire in the first half and Shake shut off that man's water!
There it is. Logan is just a revolving stepping stone to bigger programs.
As much as I dislike them, this isn't good for the conference and must be so brutal as a fan.
Fun article from ESPN... Who wins in a battle of the Final Four schools' best starting 5s of the last 20 years? Their SDSU team consists of:
Malachi Flynn
Matt Bradley
Jamaal Franklin
Kawhi Leonard
Malcolm Thomas
Head coach: Steve Fisher
Hope this guy is excited for his big NIT matchup with App State.
And hope he enjoyed watching the MW 7th place team Colorado State curb stomp his conference's 3rd place team Virginia.
🚨 BREAKING NEWS🚨
Due to the ACC being an unathletic piece of shit, Wake Forest has moved to the PREMIER college conference, the Mountain West.
@ESPNLunardi
now has wake as the first overall seed and stated “I’d take those MW Deacs over a team of 5 Lebrons”. Tourney time 🔒
UConn fans are quite the smug, cocky bunch. Stopped initiating convo because it was pretty much all the same...
"Good luck, you're gonna need it"
Aztec fans new and old... Don't be that guy. Be cool.
Watching the replay of the SDSU-New Mexico game from Friday.
Lamont Butler was EVERYWHERE on defense. The amount of tips, deflections and steals he had was absolutely elite.
Sealed himself as MW DPOY in my opinion.
Shout to Tre Pulliam, one of the unsung heroes off the bench last night.
Tre had 7 points & 5 assists in 22 minutes and helped pad our lead in the 1st half.
Incredible ballhandler, great off screens and penetration. In my opinion, he's one of the big reasons we're undefeated.
Very possible the play-in is a blessing in disguise for Colorado State.
Playing a bad Virginia team gives them a tournament tune-up for Texas.
I like them in both games.
San Diego State pro athlete accomplishments in the last 5 years:
2019: Kawhi wins NBA title, named Finals MVP
2019: Strasburg wins World Series, named World Series MVP
2024: Xander wins PGA Championship
Can any school compete with this level of success over that time span?
Another JAY PAL appreciation post!
Rebounds, hustles, plays solid D, can make 3s, and shoots well from the line.
Arguably our best rebounder.
Getting better every game.
Going to be huge for us as the season goes on.
Not gonna hear much from the "Jalen Harris should be MW player of the year" crowd.
Thoroughly outplayed by Malachi Flynn this game and Aztecs get the win at Reno.
Harris is a great player and will be a stud in the league, but c'mon now! No contest!
The 22nd ranked team in the country is in SEVENTH place in the Mountain West.
The 19th ranked team in the country is in FOURTH place in the Mountain West.
Unbelievably deep league this year.
"Before the game, the Sycuan tribe presented a $50,000 check to the Mesa Foundation, the NIL collective for SDSU basketball."
This is huge! Great job
@mesafoundation_
and thank you
@SycuanTribe
!
We need more of this from our local businesses and organizations!
Late last night San Diego State scored a HUGE victory as four-star cornerback Jason Mitchell II announced his commitment to the Aztecs and new coach Sean Lewis. Mitchell’s offer list includes USC, Oregon, Notre Dame & LSU among many others.

Just read this new article from ESPN...

SDSU has an eye popping stat that shows the sustained success of this program:
"The Aztecs are 108-23 over the past four seasons. History suggests more of the same."
108-23 👀👀👀
"It's all about believing in yourself" 👏
An emotional Darrion Trammell is lost for words after San Diego State earned its first trip to the Final Four

What has San Diego State done to be THREE seed lines ahead of Boise State? The metrics are very similar.
If Aztecs are a 5, Boise State surely should be 6-7.
Looking like Araiza may be innocent after all.
Let it be a lesson to everyone who labeled him guilty immediately based on allegations.
That's not the way this works.
Another 4-star recruit (Jordan Anderson) in town this weekend. Sean Lewis attracting the interest of some serious talent a few weeks in to his tenure at SDSU.
Anderson has offers from schools such as Georgia, Oregon, USC, Michigan, Texas and Washington. Could play anywhere.
Four-star DB Jason Mitchell from Bellflower (Calif.) St. John Bosco and four-star receiver Jordan Anderson from Newport Beach (Calif.) Newport Beach are visiting San Diego State this weekend.
What a season! Aztec fans should be very proud of this team for gutting through this season and finishing 12-2.
Can't wait for next season and our NEW STADIUM!
GO AZTECS!!!

Kawhi Leonard and Michael Jordan are the only 2 players in NBA history to win NBA Finals MVP, NBA All-Star Game MVP, and Defensive Player of the Year awards.
Hot take...
With the amount of parity in the sport, combined with the superior end of season tournament, college basketball currently has a better overall product than college football.
So glad Braden shared his story. This cannot get enough attention, so I am sharing it as well.
Good luck to you Braden! I'm in your corner. Hope to see you back on the court soon, but if not, that's ok too. Take care of yourself first and foremost!
Those of you who follow New Mexico basketball may have noticed I haven’t been playing or anyone who knows me may have noticed I have been so distant from everyone and there is a good reason for that.
I have struggled with depression off and on since high school. I was diagnosed
Last night was brutal, but gotta give a lot of credit to Lamont Butler who played his heart out like it was going to be his last game at Viejas.
He nearly carried us to victory.
Kinda interesting to me that SDSU football players would enter the portal before even knowing who the new coach would be.
I think a lot of kids fall in love with the potential of what's next without even fully realizing where they stand.

NCAA committee member Bubba Cunningham just told CBS that the Mountain West didn't have enough impressive wins outside of conference play. Most good wins came against league teams, he said. "Made it more challenging for us," he said.
It's hilarious to see ACC fans calling out the MW because we'll be getting more teams in the NCAA tourney this year.
I guess the league has officially arrived on the national scene.
Shout out to Matt Bradley..
Last night he was only 1-8 FG (2 points) but didn't force his shot, found teammates, and was huge on D.
Final state line: 2 pts, 7 rebs, 4 assists.
Playing Aztec basketball means doing what needs to be done to win. Matt has bought in.
@GroupOfFiveGuys
Clearly it is
@SDSU
but are we really a G5 anymore? 🤔
Updated numbers…
1. SDSU: 440-159 (.7345576)
2. tOSU: 445-162 (.73311367)

Boise State outgains us in yardage by 336 yards with their OC that has been in place for FIVE DAYS while alternating QBs
I truly believe SDSU has the worst offensive coordinator in the country
@CBKReport
It's unbelievable. AP voters want FAU to succeed so badly and want to ignore what SDSU is doing.
Zero losses outside Quad 1, all losses are true road games against ranked teams or teams close to being ranked this season.
The AP poll has lost a ton of credibility this year.
Malachi messed around and dropped FIFTY on the Hawks tonight. Maybe some coaches will start waking up and playing this dude the minutes he deserves.
When was the last time a dude dropped 50 off the bench??

@malachiflynn
Matt Bradley averaged 11.0 FGA per game last year.
Reese Waters is averaging 8.9 FGA so far this year.
I think he needs to be getting those extra 2.1 shots a game to improve this offense.
Seems minor but LeDee needs the help.
