SAN DIEGO (AP) — A dozen seasons after Steve Fisher inherited one of the worst basketball programs in the country, his San Diego State Aztecs have finally arrived.
Ranked in The Associated Press poll for the first time — they’re No. 25 — the Aztecs are ready to begin what they hope is their most successful season ever.
The Aztecs return all five starters from a team that won the Mountain West Conference tournament and finished 25-9 after losing to Tennessee in the NCAA tournament.
For this season to be a success, the Aztecs want to actually win a game in the NCAAs. Last year’s loss dropped them to 0-6 in the NCAA tournament.
