Playing some 1,500 miles away in Houston this past Monday evening, the Aztecs had both support at the championship game and back here in San Diego.
A massive crowd turned out at Viejas Arena Monday, waiting to go inside and cheer on the Aztecs on the big screen.
While the 76-59 defeat to UConn was disappointing, SDSU fans rightfully were proud of their team.
In a season that saw SDSU win 32 games and go as far as it had ever been in March Madness, the 2022-2023 season was one to smile about for Aztec Nation. (Photos by Noah Lyons and Jessica Parga)
