thedude15 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 they ended our 0-11 tourney streak. They made the sweet 16. They are responsible for at least half (3 out of 6) of our NCAAT credits this year. If they can somehow win one more game then this NCAAT is actually going to a net positive for the MW reputation. Which would be a huge turnaround as only one out of four teams even won a game in the NCAAT. Also it is not like we were huge underdogs I think Nevada and BSU were 2 pt dogs and USU was a 1 pt favorite. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigd Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Yeah their run was much needed. Congrats Aztecs! it would be amazing if you could be the first MW team to ever advance past the sweet 16! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelawlorfaithful Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 The Aztecs are freaking great this year. Their fans, perhaps conditioned by previous disappointments the past decade, really focus on their shortcomings. Fans do that. But when I see this team it looks like going to battle against a tiger. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also don't rule out Maryland beating Alabama. In that case I would put SDSU vs Maryland as a 50/50 game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats again Aztecs, of course we selfishly hope you guys stay in the league, but if not hopefully you dominate the pac 12 the way you have here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
