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 sdsu slacked but won yea sdsu loved my seats lots of energy
This was our first college basket ball game and it was incredible. The energy of the fans was insane! We will definitely go to another one. These tickets were for myself and 10yr old son.
SDSU basketball has become an event in SD. The team is excellent and the atmosphere at Viejas arena is off the charts.
I had a great time and my team won also! Great view from my seat and what a show, the fans were very focused and the cheering was intense to say the least.
Don't sit in student section unless you want to stand the entire game, make sure you get there early, ushers won't seat you, they'll just say take whatever seat you can find, if you're 1 minute late good luck getting the seat you actually purchased...otherwise it's a blast!
Great atmosphere, even if you're not a big fan the crowd pumps you up
Anytime you can get into this arena to see the Aztecs play, you should. Although not the best team or the best game, the Roadrunners were entertaining to watch. During the school year, half the entertainment is watching the student section(The Show) cheer and chant and support the Aztecs. It looks like a tradition is building on Montezuma Mesa. Be a part of it.
From start to finish, an amazing time. Even though this was a game during Winter Break against a small school, the arena was jam packed and the crowd was into it. Even casual sports fans would have a blast at an Aztec game. Hint: The $5 ginormous bag of freshly popped kettle corn, is the best food deal I have seen at any sporting event.
The game was FANtastic, just about all the seats there are awesome, just being in the house was awesome, in a word, my experience was AWESOME!! GO AZTECS!!
Aztecs game was a excellent choice...well organized and funny.
Great game, easy access to arena. Traffic was a heavy on the way out of the parking structure (closest to the arena) parking attendants were not paying proper attention to people trying to leave. Perhaps, some better training of personnel.
This was a tough game to watch, not just because the Aztecs looked outcoached and outplayed, but because the #24 ranked Aztecs looked more like they should have been ranked 124! They got spunky just in time (overtime) to avoid another crushing defeat. Yes, they are short handed but even so they need to play better than they did. They may be a lock for the tournament but if things don't get turned around, they won't last long!
Fire works and a halftime show by the Black Eyes Peas was the only way to out do the event on Feb 22, 2012. It rocked but I do think they should add fireworks like UNLV and a good halftime show that deserves its own admission fee. Other than that it was amazing. Thanks!!!
I attended the Aztecs vs Wyoming game and had a great time. Thrilling action and electric atmosphere.
Good Venue, great game, although SDSU lost. Student Body section always entertaining. The only down side was the traffic in/out of the campus, especially the garages. Take the Trolley
A most unbelievable experience! This was our second SDSU basketball game, amd we'll be back for more.
Loved the atmosphere, fans were rooting for the home team as if it was a Final Four game. Great time, great game. To bad we came up on the losing end of a nail biter. Cannot wait until they visit the Thomas & Mack.
great game, great entertainment with the dance team, cheerleaders and school band. Steve Fisher is a great coach and I love going to games. I Wish they were not all sold out for the rest of the season.
great team spirit & great fun, close @ one point but had confidence in the team
good game, i expected more people though... nice atmosphere!!
