FINAL: 72-71, SDSU: CAN YOU DIG IT???!!! LAMONT BUTLER HITS THE FINAL SHOT AT THE BUZZER TO SEND SAN DIEGO STATE TO THE NATIONAL TITLE GAME!
17.5 seconds remaining, score: 71-70, FAU: May called timeout after advancing past halfcourt. SDSU brought pressure on the inbounder, forcing FAU to call its final timeout. 11 ticks left on shot clock.36.2 seconds remaining, score: 71-70, FAU: The Owls went back to their leading man, Alijah Martin, who scored on a tough reverse layup. He has 26 points today, with 19 coming in the second half. Dutcher calls timeout as the Aztecs get it past halfcourt.
After a solid defensive possession by SDSU, Bradley made a quick move the rim, drawing a foul, but failing to hit the bucket. He went 1/2 from the line, and SDSU brought pressure off the made bucket. 5:40 remaining, score: 65-61, FAU: LeDee was fouled as the shot clock expired, but he missed both shots from the line. SDSU managed to get an offensive board and was fouled again, this time by Martin.
— ABC 10News San Diego April 1, 2023 11:11 remaining, score: 58-51, FAU: The Aztecs dug out of their largest deficit of the NCAA Tournament thanks to a three pointer by Parrish and Bradley getting his first points since early on in the first half. Parrish made another three off of a Bradley assist after a jumper by Davis.
Sports director Ben Higgins believes the officiating is skewed in this one. My take? The tech was soft — but Mensah needs to be more careful when closing out on the three point shots, even though that was an emphasis for the halftime adjustments.— Ben Higgins April 1, 2023 15:56 remaining, score: 49-40, FAU: Following a reach-in foul by Mensah, Martin drained a three-pointer off a Greenlee assist. Trammell hit a mid-range shot on the ensuing possession.
In my opinion, SDSU needs one of their best offensive performances in the second half in order to advance to the National Title game. Additionally, the defense needs to get out on shooters and do a better job contesting the mid-range game as well. Johnson finally made a three-pointer the next time down the court off a Bradley assist. Martin missed a jumper as the clock ticked towards halftime, and Bradley missed a three as the buzzer sounded.
Aguek Arop made a jumper after a lengthy possession for the Aztecs that was kept a live by a Bradley offensive board. The Owls scored an easy layup the next time down the court, and Micah Parrish missed a three for SDSU. — Ben Higgins April 1, 2023 6:40 remaining, score: 26-26: LeDee went 1/2 from the line, and FAU's Golden scored on the other end to tie the game up. Johnell Davis, the best player in the tournament for the Owls, took advantage of a mismatch, backing down Lamont Butler to draw a foul. Davis made both of his free throws. Make your foul shots... win the game.
This game is much higher scoring so far than analysts had anticipated going into the matchup. Both teams have hit four three-pointers so far, and overall from the field, they're both at least at 50%. 15:56 remaining, score: 8-5, SDSU: Matt Bradley is confident early in this one, something that hasn't happened for him all tournament. He has hit two three-pointers to give the Aztecs the lead early on. Nate Mensah had a bone-headed error with a travel on one possession, but he followed it up by scoring a basket and drawing a foul inside the next time down the court.
Save for Alabama, SDSU has held all of its NCAA Tournament foes to under 60 points — an impressive feat in and of itself. Additionally, as former Villanova head coach Jay Wright pointed out on the CBS broadcast, the Aztecs will have the advantage on the offensive glass against the Owls, since SDSU tends to keep two bigs on the blocks down low.
