San Diego State basketball

San Diego State’s basketball program just made its first Final Four appearance. UC San Diego’s basketball team has to wait one more year to be eligible to play in the NCAA Tournament. If what we saw on Friday night in front of a sellout crowd at LionTree Arena is any indication, both programs will be regular March Madness participants...

Last season San Diego State forward Jaedon LeDee was a valuable role player off the Aztecs bench. This year he might be an All-American. LeDee’s senior season is off to a monster start and the entire college basketball world is taking notice. On Monday, Jaedon was named the National Player of the Week not once, but three times. LeDee...

A team familiar with winning tense ballgames played one that had a March feel to it Sunday night. Just as they did in last season’s NCAA Tournament San Diego State (4-1) found a way. Jaedon LeDee continued to stir up early Player of the Year buzz with a 34 points 17 rebound performance to help the Aztecs get past Washington…

Jaedon LeDee scored six of his career-high 27 points in the first three minutes of the second half and No. 17 San Diego State broke open a close game to beat Cal State Fullerton 83-57 in their season opener Monday night. LeDee also pulled down 10 rebounds for SDSU, runner-up for last season’s national title. Before the game, the school…

On Monday night SDSU embarks on its quest to return to the Final Four when they host CSU Fullerton for a 7:30 p.m. tipoff at Viejas Arena in what’s expected to be an electric evening.

The Aztecs start a brand new season with hopes of another trip to the final four. NBC 7’s Derek Togerson has more on what this year may have in store for us.

He authored one of the greatest moments in San Diego sports history. Lamont Butler’s game winning buzzer beater against Florida Atlantic in the 2023 NCAA Tournament Final Four will almost assuredly go down as the lasting image of his SDSU career. However, those tournament games will not be his last in red and black. Butler announced on social media Monday…

We’ve all heard the expression “It’s more than a game.”

News of another member of San Diego State’s Final Four team testing the NBA waters didn’t come as a surprise, but the additional wrinkle to Wednesday’s news did. Forward Keshad Johnson will not return to the Aztecs next season. He will maintain his college eligibility while going through the NBA’s pre-draft process and enter the transfer portal. Johnson announced...

A lot has been made of SDSU’s defense during their NCAA Tournament run. National analysts have been lauding the Aztecs commitment to D for a few weeks now. It’s easy to look at the box scores, see the Aztecs hold everyone under 70 points and 22% from 3-point range, and say their defense IS great. But what MAKES it great?…

The two teams in this national championship game really could not be coming from more different places, and I’m not just talking about San Diego, CA and Storrs, CT. The Aztecs are in their first Final Four (shoot, they just played in their first Elite Eight). The Huskies are looking for their 5th national championship, which would tie Duke...

To understand how big a deal the Final Four is, consider this: The NCAA likes to play it in NFL facilities. NRG Stadium in Houston, site of this year’s event and home of the Texans, is so big that Viejas Arena, the home of the San Diego State Aztecs, would physically fit inside it. Not just the court and...

This will be the first Final Four appearance in SDSU’s history and fans couldn’t be more elated, NBC 7’s Dana Williams reports.

The San Diego State Aztecs beat the Creighton Blue Jays 57-56 in the Elite 8 of the NCAA Basketball Tournament. With the win in the South Regional Final, SDSU’s season will continue with a trip to the Final Four in Houston, TX.

Sunday at 11:20 a.m. (PT) the Aztecs face the Bluejays in each team’s first appearance in the Elite Eight – with both hoping to book its first trip to the Final Four. It’s also a rematch of last year’s first round meeting.

70. That’s the key. On Friday, San Diego State plays Alabama in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. The Bammers are the number one team in the nation and the top overall seed in this year’s tournament. If the Aztecs want to pull off one what would arguably be the biggest win in program history (and we can debate…

San Diego State is always going to play suffocating defense. The question is whether or not they’ll shoot the ball well. When they do, they can beat just about anyone in the country. Furman saw that first hand on Saturday. The Aztecs blasted the Paladins 75-52 to advance to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament for the third time…

For the third straight season, San Diego State basketball is going dancing. The Aztecs are in the Big Dance, also known as the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. San Diego State is the 5th seed in the South region. SDSU will play 12th-seeded Charleston in a first-round game Thursday in Orlando. The Charleston Cougars are 31-3 and won both the...

Lamont Butler scored 16 points and No. 20 San Diego State held on to beat Colorado State 64-61 in the Mountain West Conference Tournament quarterfinals. The top-seeded Aztecs never led by more than five points in the second half, and Isaiah Stevens’ 3-pointer gave the eighth-seeded Rams a 59-58 lead with 1:42 left. Jordan LeDee and Matt Bradley each hit...
