East Coast Aztec Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 On 3/18/2023 at 5:47 PM, TopLobo said: Will it though? A lot of people out there just see SDSU as a future Pac-12 team, whether or not that's the case. MWC football, with Utah and TCU, won three major bowl games (Fiesta, Sugar, and Rose), but you'd be hard pressed to find anyone out there that gives the MWC credit for those bowl wins since Utah and TCU moved on to bigger conferences. TCU's win in the Rose Bowl over Wisconsin happened in their last year before being a Big 12 team, so I think a lot of people just see it as a Big 12 team winning, not a lowly MWC team. If the Aztecs are in the Pac-12 or Big 12 this time next year, no one will remember or care that the MWC is getting a Sweet 16. I think the only way to truly get a reputation is for multiple teams, and different teams besides just SDSU, doing things on a national stage. Utah and TCU's BCS wins are tied to the MWC, even to any CFB fan with a shred of knowledge. Just like most of us recognize BSU's success in the WAC as WAC success. We are MWC. Our success is tied to the MWC until we are no longer MWC. Then the records and wins will still be tied to MWC, as they should. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number of losses is so pathetic that I honestly can't remember. As far as I can tell, it was Colorado State: 2023 NCAA tournament - San Diego State defeated College of Charleston and Furman (so far) 2018 NCAA tournament - Nevada defeated Texas and Cincinnati 2015 NCAA tournament - San Diego State defeated St. John's 2014 NCAA tournament - San Diego State defeated New Mexico State and North Dakota State 2013 NCAA tournament - Colorado State defeated Missouri and San Diego State defeated Oklahoma 2012 NCAA tournament - New Mexico defeated Long Beach State 2011 NCAA tournament - Brigham Young defeated Wofford and Gonzaga and San Diego State defeated Northern Colorado and Temple 2010 NCAA tournament - Brigham Young defeated Florida and New Mexico defeated Montana 2008 NCAA tournament - UNLV defeated Kent State 2007 NCAA tournament - UNLV defeated Georgia Tech and Wisconsin 2005 NCAA tournament - Utah defeated UTEP and Oklahoma 2003 NCAA tournament - Utah defeated Oregon 2002 NCAA tournament - Utah defeated Saint Louis and Wyoming defeated Gonzaga Wins: SDSU - 8 Utah - 4 BYU - 3 UNLV - 3 Nevada - 2 New Mexico - 2 Colorado State - 1 Wyoming - 1 Everybody else - 0 Total - 24 So SDSU has a full third of all MWC NCAA tournament wins. Almost another third were won by teams no longer in the conference. Utah is the only MW team with a better NCAA tournament win percentage than SDSU. https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/conferences/mwc/men/ncaa.html 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
