The San Diego State Aztecs men’s basketball team is fresh off its deepest tournament run in program history, in which they finished as the national runner-ups.
Coming into the season, the Aztecs are ranked No.17 in the nation, according to the Associated Press.
This is the second-highest preseason ranking in program history — the program was ranked No. 16 to begin the 2014-2015 season.

The Aztecs retained four of their top six scorers from last season, including the starting backcourt of senior guards Darrion Trammell and Lamont Butler, who was last year’s Mountain West Defensive Player of the Year as voted by the media.
