The Aztecs (30-6) have gone where no Mountain West team has gone before. Behind Darrion Trammell’s 21 points, the Aztecs took down Alabama (31-6) and have a date in the Elite Eight against the winner of the Creighton and Princeton game. The winner of that game advances to Houston for the Final Four on Saturday, April 1.
No one outside of the Aztec program gave San Diego State much of a chance against the nations number one team. On a night when both remaining number-one seeds lost, this game was most assuredly the biggest upset. The Mountain West will be represented on the national stage as one of the eight remaining teams in the ever-surprising tournament.
