SWEET SIXTEEN

I am not much of a college basketball fan, but this year, our SDSU Aztecs have given many a reason to watch. They had an incredible regular season, won the MWC Championships last weekend in Las Vegas and earned a #2 seed in the West Conference NCAA tournament!
The 32-2 Aztecs beat Northern Colorado 68-50 in the 2nd round game on Thursday to set up today's matchup against Temple. It was their 1st NCAA tournament win! We got home from the carnival in time to watch the tip off and were glued to the TV the entire game. The Aztecs had the lead most of the time, but usually only by 5 or 6 points. I believe their greatest lead was 11, but slowly gave it away. With less than a minute left in regulation, Temple tied the game and it went into OT and after 5 minutes still tied...a 2nd OT. Matt and I were screaming at the TV, the kids were laughing at us and our hearts were racing.

Finally, in the last few minutes, the Aztecs got some breaks and took control to finally win 71-64!

They have advanced to the SWEET SIXTEEN and will play UConn in Anaheim on Thursday. It has been quite a run and great for SDSU and all of the fans. LET'S GO AZTECS!
