SDSU basketball: A season to remember

As the San Diego State Aztecs men's basketball team prepares for the NCAA Tournament, it's time to reflect on a season that has been nothing short of remarkable. From their dominant regular season performance to their heart-stopping victories in the Mountain West Tournament, the Aztecs have shown that they are a force to be reckoned with.

One of the most impressive things about this year's team is their depth. The Aztecs have a roster full of talented players who can contribute in a variety of ways. This was evident in their regular season, as they had seven players average at least 10 points per game. In the Mountain West Tournament, they showed their depth by winning three games in a row, including a come-from-behind victory over Nevada in the championship game.

Another key to the Aztecs' success this season has been their defense. They are one of the top defensive teams in the country, and they have held opponents to an average of just 60.8 points per game. Their defense has been especially stingy in the paint, where they have allowed opponents to shoot just 45.8% from the field. Also, a big reason for their success this season has been their ability to win close games.

The Aztecs are now set to make their 13th NCAA Tournament appearance in the past 15 years. They will be a dangerous team in the tournament, and they have a chance to make a deep run. If they can continue to play with the same intensity and passion that they have shown all season, they could be a dark horse to win the national championship.

So, what's the secret to the Aztecs' success? According to head coach Brian Dutcher, it's all about teamwork.

"We have a group of guys who are willing to sacrifice for each other," Dutcher said. "They play hard for each other, and they never give up. That's why they've been so successful this season."

The Aztecs are a special team, and they have a chance to do something special this season. They have the talent, the depth, and the experience to make a deep run in the NCAA Tournament. So, let's all get behind the Aztecs and cheer them on to victory!
