LAS VEGAS— The No. 18 San Diego State men’s basketball team entered the Mountain West Championship Game in familiar territory. In all six years of the Brian Dutcher era the Aztecs have reached Championship Saturday, but four times they have come up short — including last year’s defeat at the hand of the Boise State Broncos.
Following last night’s semifinal win over San José State, Dutcher was asked if there was a different feel with this year’s team compared to those that came up short.
“You know, I can’t even remember all those games, to be honest with you,” Dutcher said.
