SDSU representing the MWC is huge. We can hate on each other next Tuesday. But for this week, let’s all be Aztecs!

We’re all SDSU fans now

little ol' SDSU finaaaaaaaally broke the Sweet-16 ceiling. Good for you guys, really! I'm happy for you. Genuinely. Not seething with jealousy or anything. That sort of behavior would be beneath a patrician-class fan of a once powerhouse program that has been reduced to absolute rubble from it's own infuriating incompetence for decades. Especially a fan too young and handsome to have lived those great days first hand. But the FINAL FOUR is where the BIG BOYS go. That's where legendary teams are forged. Get your fuggin' asses to the FINAL FOUR SDSU!!!!!!! I'm REALLY not jealous or bitter about your success! Seriously. This is really off brand for me. I'm surprised with myself.

This is what’s great about the mwcboard. We will shit on each other all day but if a fan of another team comes and talks shit but doesn’t back it up we all pile on them.

@Cougar Kingplease post your favorite eateries and hot spots for SUDS fans. BTW- you got any hookups for tickets?

BUH-BYE YOU COUSIN-F*CKING HILLBILLIES! WOOOOOOOOOOO!

Foul

Thanks for all of the Aztec love on the game thread MWC Nation. THAT WAS EPIC!!!!!!!!

I hope we hear from the Houston contingent.

Sitting in a bar in southwest Wyoming and I've got EVERYONE cheering for the 'Tecs!!!

Tell us you went cougar hunting without telling us you went cougar hunting.

good pick-up for the Boise St 0-9ers!

I sit here and stfu. Just trying to be grateful for what has been accomplished. Proud of the team.

Sorry Aztecs but the NCAA has overruled the officials of the game… https://www.ncaa.com/news/basketball-men/article/2023-03-26/2023-march-madness-mens-ncaa-tournament-schedule-dates-times

Play of the game was Bradley breaking out of a triple team in the last minute, getting fouled, and sinking both FTs.

Go Team Elites! Let's put commoners like Trump back in their places.

@Warbowis in charge of MWC Board debt collection, @k5james has a warrant out for his arrest in all four forums.

30 is the new 15.

Unreal. Americans don't care. We all say we do but nothing changes so if you judge by actions and not words, you know we don't care.

You're still not making the NIT

It’s only because @Cougar Kingcame in talking shit about the conference.

Saturday, April 1, 3.09 PDT, CBS Opening Line (Sunday, March 26): SDSU -2 FINAL MUTHERF*CKING FOUR BABY! Mother of f*cking dragons. I honestly can't believe I'm typing this right now. It's not for a lack of belief or faith - I held on to plenty of both throughout this run. But it's just that this is not a feeling Aztecs - or San Diego sports fans for that matter - are used to. Sure, we had our Super Bow run in '94 (I was a Charger season ticket holder that year) and World Series runs in '84 and '98 (I was at the home NLCS games during the latter). But this? It just feel different. And I won't kid myself - I can't help but think we have a very good chance at playing for a natty. Not that we'll get it necessarily, but at this point, I mean f*ck it - who knows? Why not us? We've shown our D can lock up anybody in the country, including the nation's top offense and a team playing as good on both sides of the ball as anyone in the tourney. We've earned our place in the Final Four. Or rather Dutch and this squad have. I couldn't be more proud of these guys. None of those f*ckers in the broadcast booth gave us a chance (except for Kenny). We had just beat down the #1 team in the entire country and the top seed in the entire tourney, but it was as if it hadn't happened. Big, bad, Big East. Whatever. F*ck them all. It's us (inclusive) against the world. Which brings me to this thought. I am almost as stoked for FAU. At least the MWC has earned a rep as a tough as nails hoops conference, even absent - until now - a winning tradition in March. But if you mention March basketball and CUSA in the same sentence, people usually wait for the punchline. That being said, we know all too well what that feels like. So prop to FAU for representing what true mid-majors can do. The MWC is considered to be a "high-mid-major" conference (whatthef*ckever that means), but our roots are admittedly humble. I watched most of their games against KSU but should have recorded it. I will leave it to others more qualified than myself to post scouting reports, but those guys can ball. They, too, have earned their place in the Final Four. But holy shit if we're not one game away from a shot at a natty and I have no reason to think we can't take care of business on Saturday. But I expect this to be as tough as game as any we've played in this tourney. As I have been neurotically consistent with thee game threads, will forgo editing this one too. So I'm leaving the TBD as it is - not like people will be relying on this thread to learn what time tip off is... lol. All my Rum is Belong to Jobu. Oh, and one more thing... Aztecs! Give 'em hell State!

I caught an Idaho Steelheads game last night and witnessed one of the greatest sports plays I've ever seen. Check this out:

@Rebels18 is correct. I welched. Not on purpose, but got sidetracked right after I promised delivery and then forgot all about it. The public shaming is not unfair or unfounded. The helmet has been ordered. It's a minor deal that I let become something stupid. Situation resolved. mea culpa.

You left out FS’s NC in Baseball. The run that team made was from a far outside position, similar to what SUDS is doing now.

I remember a decade or so ago @Rebels18 lost a bet to me and within a few days an envelope containing $100 appeared in my PO Box. I will always respect R18 for being a man of his word.

He was freshman of the year for the Big West at UCSD averaged 13 ppg and 3 APG. He fills a need for an additional experienced PG for the Broncos. One more piece to complete the puzzle, a legit post and we be ballin next year. With Anderson we’re in in great shape at the 1, 2, 3, and 4 positions.

These men were not draft dodgers! "When the cheering was over, Sailors and six of his teammates went off to fight in World War II. College basketball's 19-year-old national player of the year was already commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Marines and was sent to the South Pacific not long after the team returned from New York City to Laramie."

“They’re not going to the Sweet Sixteen! They’re not going to the Elite Eight! They’re not going to the Final Four! They’re not… “ Here’s hoping your track record remains perfect!

I am one happy dude !

Not really. But ok.

I'm about to break out a good scotch and a cigar and go reflect and read box scores.

Great win, Aztecs. Elite 8 is incredible enough, but for me, your getting there by derailing not only a Special Education Conference team but one of the most truly evil collection of scum this side of an Art Briles Baylor team is so sweet.

Gotta pull yourself up by those bootstraps and stop being a leech on the system then, millionaire

get the phuck outta here that reasonable bullshit...this is all about BYU athletes not getting pussy and how that really sucks for them are you just another BYU sock?

You won’t find it. It’s made up complete bullshit lies. Nothing like defaming deceased military members who honorably served in WW2 and preserved our freedoms.

Late to the thread but wow! First, the foul was a classic...defender gets beat and grabs the player's hip - down low, so the ref won't notice (my older brother was a coach and did this to me ALL the time!) - as he goes up and disrupts the shot. Second, third and fourth...Creighton's inbounder was on the line, the clock didn't start when the ball was touched and the ball was last touched by Creighton! San Diego's D (again) GAVE them the game!

Lol. What a bust. Your paper tiger team should have been beat by N. Kentucky. All this useless hype and smack talk the whole season. And poof. Gone like a fart in the wind. Like I said earlier, Houston wasn’t a 1 seed. 8-9 at best. Riff-Raff indeed gone from the S16. At least you have football to look forward to. Right? Oh wait…… Nevermind.

So, now that the riff-raff is gone...that '1 bid league' has a chance at the Final 4.

@Cougar King

No matter what happens
