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.

    SDSU vs Chicago State Mens' basketball

    by AztecOralSurgeonDrG on 1/12/12Aztec Mens Basketball At Viejas Arena - San Diego

    Holy Moly!!!! That was close!!!!!! For a team that was supposed to be an easy win, they nearly whooped our rear ends...they would have if their bench was deeper...but once their lead guys got into foul trouble (all 5 of them), they had no one else to save them. I tell you, 3 more decent guys on their bench and they beat us absolutely. These Chicago State kids came out fired up to play and they flat out did!!! They took a sloppy, ill-prepared SDSU team to task and at multiple times throughout the game made us look absolutely silly! Crisp passing, solid fundamentals, alley-oop slam dunks, trick slam dunks, and good defense - Chicago State had it all. The Aztecs looked flat and very sloppy. We (Aztecs) were behind at one point by at least 7 points and it looked like we could possibly end up losing if we didn't get our game on. Finally we did get our game on and sent the Chicago State team packing, but the outcome could have been vastly different if they had a deeper bench. Several of their top players fouled out...thank God. We did NOT look like a top 25 team - far from it. This is the first game I've attended this year and hope to attend more. I want to see if this was just an off-night for our boys. I pray it was. Hat's off to Chicago State for a very good effort...they clearly put a scare in all of us Aztecs - fans, coaches and players included.

    Good seats, crowd into the game, cheering was positive, all players played, home team won by 51 (what?), and parking was decent. Should be a good season.

    Winning Changes Everything

    by Alumnus77 on 12/25/11Aztec Mens Basketball At Viejas Arena - San Diego

    There were over 11,000 people at a 4:30 P.M. midweek game against a team that most of us have never heard of. Going 34-3 last season has certainly brought many new fans out of the woodwork. Up until last year, I could show up right before game time and buy tickets to virtually any game. For someone who remembers the "old days" at the Sports Arena, when the Aztecs seldom drew 1,500 people to a game, it's quite a change. My favorite team is now so popular that it's hard to get a chance to see them.

    Lots of fun...and SDSU won!!

    by MC619 on 11/20/11Aztec Mens Basketball At Viejas Arena - San Diego

    Had a great time at the game - SDSU basketball is a lot of fun, especially sitting near the student section. It's pretty loud and raucous, so if you're looking for a quieter area to watch the game (i.e., where people aren't stomping their feet on the metal bleachers, making your seat shake), you might want to try other seats. But to me, this added to the excitement. Can't wait to go back!

    Exciting end to conference play!

    by markinsandiego on 3/7/11Aztec Mens Basketball At Viejas Arena - San Diego

    The Aztecs started of well, then battled back and forth for the rest of the 1st half. The second half was dominated by the Aztecs - with many players seeing action. It was an exciting end to the Mountain West Conference Play - Co-Champions with BYU. What a great crowd!

    SDSU vs BYU at Viejas Arena

    by carboncpy on 2/28/11Aztec Mens Basketball At Viejas Arena - San Diego

    It was a thoroughly enjoyable game, at a great venue with a electrifying vibe/atmosphere. SDSU fans may not agree with me that it was 'enjoyable', given the outcome, but as an impartial observer it was a fun game to watch and I feel with certainty that the better team won the game (i.e., neither team got screwed by the refs).

    Awesome game, not so awesome score

    by GoGloGo on 2/28/11Aztec Mens Basketball At Viejas Arena - San Diego

    Had a blast, the SDSU student section was applaudable! Brought all 3 of our kids from ages 6-13 and was impressed with good, clean bantering! Great game, sad outcome but we'll get'em next time around.
