San Diego State had just come back from 21 points down Wednesday to eliminate UNLV from the Mountain West tournament and end the worst basketball season in Rebels history.
Aztecs coach Steve Fisher, however, wasn’t in a celebratory mood. Sure, he was happy to keep playing when it looked like his team was done, but was saddened it came at the expense of his former assistant coach, Marvin Menzies, who is now in charge of the Rebels.
