The number of San Diego State teams that have won an NCAA Division I championship can be counted on one finger.
SDSU has had some great individual basketball players, including Kawhi Leonard, Michael Cage and two-sport star Tony Gwynn. Gwynn still holds SDSU's game, season and career assists records. He was drafted by both the Padres and the then-San Diego Clippers on the same day in 1981, and a year later began his 20-year Hall of Fame career with the Padres. He later coached baseball at SDSU for 12 seasons before dying of cancer in 2014 at age 54.
Tony Gwynn Jr., who played for his dad at SDSU, said it’s “surreal” to see his alma mater in the Final Four. Gwynn’s phone was blowing up on Sunday, too. He was broadcasting the Padres’ spring training game against Seattle in Peoria, Arizona., who played at SDSU for Gwynn’s dad, had just taken his defensive position when the score of the Aztecs game was announced on the PA system.
