Sweet 16 Game versus Alabama
Many counted out the San Diego State University men’s basketball team before its program’s first Sweet 16 appearance with good reason, but the scarlet and black shut down the pre-match talk and shocked the world.
The Aztecs have rarely been underdogs this season, let alone as big as they were against the NCAA tournament one seed, Alabama. The Crimson Tide came into the Sweet 16 matchup as the SEC champion and the nation’s number one seed as of the latest AP polls.
It was like David and Goliath, as SDSU did not shy away from the moment and defeated Alabama 71-64, to advance to the Elite Eight.
