San Diego State beats Creighton to reach first Final Four in program history

San Diego State will be dancing in the Final Four for the first time ever, but it didn't happen without a bit of controversy.

The No. 5 Aztecs endured a tough test from No. 6 Creighton in the South regional final before ultimately pulling out a 57-56 win.

There was plenty of late drama in Louisville though as SDSU turned the ball over for a Creighton layup by Baylor Scheierman with 31 seconds left to tie the game at 56. Then, as SDSU's Darrion Trammell was driving for the game-winning shot, he was fouled by Creighton's Ryan Nembhard.
