San Diego State Aztecs Men's Basketball History

San Diego State Teachers College first fielded a men's basketball team in 1921, and achieved success in the lower divisions of college basketball, winning the 1941 NAIA championship. From 1956 to 1970 the Aztecs played in Division II of the NCAA, making the leap to Division I in 1970 under Dick Davis.

San Diego Padres legend Tony Gwynn succeeded in both baseball and basketball at SDSU, becoming the only two-sport All-Conference player in WAC history. Gwynn still holds the Aztecs’ men’s basketball career mark for assists, with 590 between 1978 and 1981. Entertainer and television pioneer Art Linkletter also played for San Diego State in the program's early years.

Starting in 1999, a new era for San Diego State began as they moved from the Western Athletic Conference to the new Mountain West Conference and hired legendary Michigan coach Steve Fisher to rebuild the men’s basketball program. Los Angeles Clippers superstar and two-time NBA Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard played on the Aztecs from 2009 to 2011. The Aztecs reached the Sweet 16 twice, in 2011 and 2014, behind the play of Leonard and other such as Malcolm Thomas, D.J. Gay and Xavier Thames.

    Great Game, but… a few things could be improved 👌

    by Dakota on 2/6/24Viejas Arena at Aztec Bowl San Diego State University - San Diego

    My friend and I loved watching the Aztecs game in person! Here are two things that could be improved on. 1, I think having the Aztec fans all wearing one color of shirts ( white, red or black) would show unity of the fans, i. e. A WHITE OUT. This could go out in an email before a week before the next home game. Maybe the Aztecs would even sell more Aztec logoed shirts! 2, I think the companies that have old static metal box advertising around the inside top walkway of the Vienna’s Arena need to be updated with a LED Ribbon Marketing Banner that raps around on Arena. I would be more exciting to look at with updated information from those advertisers.

    Amazing

    by Dougie on 12/14/23Viejas Arena at Aztec Bowl San Diego State University - San Diego

    Viejas Arena fantastic. Modern, great views, even from high rows. Plenty of concessions, can even go outside arena during event, great place to socialize. Exciting basketball including The Show! Only drawback, pregame music on pa system for 90 minutes entirely rap. No variety i.e., Christmas carols.

    View and seating experience

    by JimH on 3/7/23Viejas Arena at Aztec Bowl San Diego State University - San Diego

    I loved the view of the court from my seat. I may change my prior location from previous years. And, it was great not having a seat next to people who were way too large for the seat design.
