The Case for San Diego State


The San Diego State Aztecs are located in San Diego, California and play in the Mountain West Conference. They are currently 22-8 (11-5 in MWC). They defeated UNLV 71-57 on Thursday to advance to the semi-finals of the Mountain West tournament, where they will play BYU. The Aztecs do have some very good wins over UNLV (three times), Utah and fellow bubble team New Mexico. They also have lost to good teams like BYU (twice), St Mary's and Arizona State. But they have a pretty bad loss to Wyoming. It will help that the Mountain West is chopped full of good RPI's. The bad news for them is a weak non-conference schedule. A win over BYU on Friday might just move them to lock status. I think the Mountain West can get as many as 3 bids and 2 of them are reserved for Utah and BYU. San Diego State defeated BYU 64-62 Friday night to advance to the MWC final. I think they clinched a spot with this win but they may wanna win the MWC tourney championship just to be safe.
