Aztecs

Jaedon LeDee had 27 points — 21 in the second half — and 11 rebounds for No. 20 San Diego State, which held off last-place San Jose State 72-64 to keep pace in the tight Mountain West Conference race. The defending regular-season and MWC Tournament champion Aztecs beat the Spartans for the 13th straight time to remain just behind conference...

After coming up just short on the road against Utah State, the Aztecs needed to make sure they didn’t let the frustration linger into their game against Fresno State. A loss to the Aggies is perfectly acceptable. A loss to the Bulldogs would be a borderline disaster. Credit to SDSU, they opened with one of their best halves of...

LOGAN, Utah (AP) — Darius Brown II scored a season-high 25 points and Utah State beat No. 19 San Diego State 68-63 on Tuesday night to take sole possession of first place in the Mountain West Conference. Great Osobor matched his career high with seven assists while adding 17 points and seven rebounds for the Aggies (22-5, 10-4), who went…

Since the start of the 2022 college basketball season, the Aztecs are 28-1 at Viejas Arena. That one loss? It came in January of 2023 to New Mexico. San Diego State got their revenge on Friday night. The Aztecs took down the Lobos 81-70, running their home record to 13-0 and giving themselves something that a loss would not have…

A state appeals court panel ruled Thursday that a group of former San Diego State football players accused of raping a 17-year-old girl may use a series of sexually graphic videos allegedly depicting the encounter as part of their legal defense.

One thing San Diego State head coach Brian Dutcher is adamant about is not letting one loss turn into two losses. Letting a losing streak get going can torpedo a team’s NCAA Tournament chances in a hurry. The Aztecs have become brilliant at bouncing back, especially in their own building. They dropped their last outing on the road at...

Playing in the Mountain West is not an easy thing to do. The conference already features multiple schools located at high altitude and some of the most difficult environments in the country. This year the MWC has had six schools in the top 60 of the NET Rankings so it’s better and deeper than ever. As good as the Aztecs…

The Aztecs needed to rebound, and they did that – quite literally – on Wednesday night. Jaedon LeDee scored 22 points as San Diego State beat Nevada 71-59. LeDee had 12 rebounds and three steals for the Aztecs (15-3, 4-1 Mountain West Conference). Reese Waters scored 14 points and added seven rebounds. Lamont Butler shot 4 of 9 from the field and 2 for...

Some teams are really good when they’re the favorites. Others are tough when they’re being overlooked and have that proverbial chip on their shoulder. It’s one of those odd sports things that’s hard to explain. For whatever reason, the 2023-24 San Diego State men’s basketball team seems to be the latter. The 19th-ranked Aztecs suffered their third, and by...

Jaedon LeDee had 31 points and 10 rebounds, and No. 19 San Diego State held off San Jose State 81-78 on Tuesday night for its seventh straight win. LeDee, the Mountain West’s leading scorer at 21.4 points per game, has scored at least 20 in four straight games. “Just credit to the work and my God-given ability,” LeDee said. “Coaches…

San Diego State, at 13-2, returns to the national rankings.

San Diego State’s men’s basketball team has only lost twice all year, both on the road to teams that are a combined 25-2, and has a road win over national powerhouse Gonzaga. And yet they’re still not in the Top-25. That should change this week. The Aztecs beat UNLV 72-61 on Saturday at Viejas Arena, their 6th straight win...

San Diego State got its head coach in Sean Lewis, and on Wednesday they got their quarterback in Danny O’Neil. Those pieces of news following one another is no coincidence. O’Neil – who had previously committed to play for Lewis at Colorado – announced that he will continue his football career on the Mesa. Lewis’ presence was a big factor…

Ray Harrison stood at the center of the court, searching for an escape route as Grand Canyon’s students charged toward him. No chance. GCU’s “Havocs” had him surrounded and, after one of the biggest wins in program history, Harrison joined in the celebration. Harrison scored 23 points, Gabe McGlothian had 15 points and 13 rebounds, and Grand Canyon beat No….

Brady Hoke is no longer San Diego State’s head football coach, but he will remain on the university’s payroll for the next few years. According to a document provided by SDSU, Hoke is in line to make $3.5 million by June 30, 2027. Hoke announced his retirement on November 13th, and coached his final game for the Aztecs 12 days…

San Diego State’s basketball program just made its first Final Four appearance. UC San Diego’s basketball team has to wait one more year to be eligible to play in the NCAA Tournament. If what we saw on Friday night in front of a sellout crowd at LionTree Arena is any indication, both programs will be regular March Madness participants...

42 years ago, Brady Hoke started his football coaching career. On Saturday night, after stops at every level from high school to the National Football League, that journey came to an end. And Coach went out a winner. San Diego State’s head coach will ride off into retirement with a 33-18 win over Fresno State (and the Old Oil Can)…

Last season San Diego State forward Jaedon LeDee was a valuable role player off the Aztecs bench. This year he might be an All-American. LeDee’s senior season is off to a monster start and the entire college basketball world is taking notice. On Monday, Jaedon was named the National Player of the Week not once, but three times. LeDee...

A team familiar with winning tense ballgames played one that had a March feel to it Sunday night. Just as they did in last season’s NCAA Tournament San Diego State (4-1) found a way. Jaedon LeDee continued to stir up early Player of the Year buzz with a 34 points 17 rebound performance to help the Aztecs get past Washington…

In 2009, San Diego State’s football team finished 4-8. Since then they’ve been one of the most consistent programs in college football, going to a bowl game every year a full complement of bowl games have been played. That impressive streak is coming to an end in 2023. The Aztecs lost 22-19 at Colorado State on Friday night, falling to…
