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.

    San Diego State is Gooooooooood!!!

    by VegasErnie on 3/28/16Viejas Arena at Aztec Bowl San Diego State University - San Diego

    Watched SDSU play in the Holiday tournament at the O'rleans in Vegas. They walked off the floor with their tale between their legs. What a turnaround!! Why didn't this team make the NCAA's. Best defensive team in America. Coach Fisher is the best, I am looking forward to his Coaching SDSU for the next 10 years!!! Viejas Arena sounds like The PIT West............Loud, they support their team.

    2016 NIT Round 3: SDSU Aztecs v Georgia Tech

    by Opine2u on 3/26/16Viejas Arena at Aztec Bowl San Diego State University - San Diego

    Great seat! Row 14 above Aztecs bench, ordinarily might have heard some of Coach Fisher's remarks to team, but the sound effects of our enthusiastic home team fans were in full playoff mode, leading Georgia Tech to remark on our powerful fan base!!! They say the only ones louder are the fans at UNC. GT came to show us how much better the ACC is than the Mountain West conference... We sent them packing 72-56. Next stop, Madison Square Garden for semi-finals!!! Thank you, Ticketmaster!

    The experience provided evidence on development and the growth of the Aztec basketball team in both the discipline of the defense and using the strengths of its players on offense. Go Aztecs.

    Viejas Arena was wonderful!

    by Summerlinfamily on 1/2/16Aztec Mens Basketball At Viejas Arena - San Diego

    My family went to the SDSU vs. Wyoming basketball game and really enjoyed our experience at the stadium. The seats were $20, very affordable and the arena was easy to get to. The only small complaint was the parking was $15, unless you can find parking on the side street. We would definitely go again.

    Utah State was no match for the Aztecs defense. However, the Aztecs need to step up their offense.
