Everyone giving constant love to Gonzaga and their consistency… rightfully so… but the lack of respect San Diego State still gets is pretty wild. The covid year they could have won it all if the tourney wasn’t cancelled. SDSU is one of the best/consistent programs now
@Thencinoman 1) I love my Aztecs. But… 2) the COVID championship would have gone to KU. They were elite that year.
@Thencinoman I agree with the quality of the program but I don’t see the disrespect that you have. Maybe my filter is too narrow on SM.
@Thencinoman Maybe playing in a non major Conf doesn't help. Major Conf receive the most recognition and respect from most national beat writers.
@Thencinoman They’re very likable too and have a little underdog mentality to them. If it weren’t for UCLA and USC, San Diego State would be more talked about in SoCal regarding college hoops and could probably be the best D1 college basketball team from SoCal. Dutcher is such a great coach.
@Thencinoman It seems like we have started to gain people’s respect. The rest of the MW continues to get disrespected though, and they did not help themselves with their performance in the tournament.
@Thencinoman Good team but very lucky draws so far in the tourney
@Thencinoman The one thing they have in common with the Zags is coaching...both have been able to keep the same guy year after years and continue to build. Tough to do.
