Aztecs win 16th consecutive MWC tourament quarterfinal, advance to Friday's semifinals in Las Vegas
consecutive quarterfinal in the Mountain West men’s basketball tournament Thursday, but if you’ve seen them, you know the scores sometimes aren’t as convincing as the streak suggests. A couple years ago, they nearly got beat by eighth-seeded Wyoming. A few years before that, they had to overcome a 21-point deficit – the largest in school history – to beat UNLV in overtime. A few years before that, a buzzer-beater against Boise State.
More drama: Mensah was fouled and made one of two with 0.7 seconds left, meaning a desperation 3 could send it to overtime. And a full-court heave by Stevens hit the front rim.Lamont Butler led SDSU with 16 points but on 5 of 14 shooting. Bradley had 13 after not taking a shot for the game’s opening 12 minutes. Jaedon LeDee had 10 points and eight rebounds in a dominant 19 minutes.
SDSU, because it was 2 of 11 behind the arc, had seven turnovers in one seven-minute stretch and got only three points from Bradley. CSU, because it was shooting 35.7 percent, getting crushed on the boards and Stevens had zero points on 0 of 6 shooting. Dutcher didn’t wait until the first media timeout to make subs, sending in three with the game barely three minutes old. That stabilized things, as the subs were responsible – either scoring or assisting – the next three baskets.
