PHOTOS: San Diego State Aztecs Headed to the NCAA Final Four

The San Diego State Aztecs have made history once again in the 2023 NCAA Tournament, marching on to the program's first-ever Final Four appearance after taking down Creighton 57-56.

The outcome of the game came down literally to the final second as the Aztecs came from behind in the dramatic victory Sunday afternoon in the South Regional in Louisville, Kentucky.

Darrion Trammell converted a go-ahead free throw after he was fouled on a floater with 1.2 seconds left.. Lamont Butler scored 18 points and Trammell had 12 for the fifth-seeded Aztecs who slowed down the high-scoring, sixth-seeded Creighton and became the first Mountain West Conference team to reach the national semifinals.

The last time head coach Brian Dutcher was in the Final Four, he was coaching alongside SDSU legend Steve Fisher at Michigan as an assistant.

The Aztecs will now face the winner of the East Regional, Florida Atlantic University, with both teams reaching the Final Four for the first time..

The National Semifinals are scheduled for Saturday, April 1, at NRG Stadium in Houston. The winner of the games Saturday will play for the National Championship Monday April 3rd.
