HOUSTON — Lamont Butler hit a jump shot at the buzzer, sending San Diego State to its first national championship game with a 72-71 win over fellow mid-major Florida Atlantic in the Final Four on Saturday night.
With FAU leading by three, San Diego State’s Jaedon LeDee hit a short jumper to cut it to 71-70.
