The No. 5 Aztecs will face Alabama-Birmingham in the opening round on Friday in Spokane, Wash.
After four months of preseason practice, after 34 games, after blowouts and overtimes and buzzer beaters, it comes down to this: 5 seed. Against Alabama-Birmingham . On Friday. In Spokane, Wash. That is San Diego State ’s assignment in the 68-team NCAA Tournament, the fourth straight time they’ve been in the Big Dance and 10th in the last 13. Win Friday against the American Athletic Conference champions, and they’ll face the winner of No. 4 seeded Auburn and No. 13 Yale on Sunday in Spokane.
The drama was not whether their name would be called on CBS in the Selection Show on Sunday afternoon, but what seed they’d get – 5 or 6 – and where they would play – close or far. Of course, proximity is overrated. A year ago, they were also a 5 seed and got shipped east to Orlando for the opening weekend. And reached the championship game in Houston after a detour through Louisville for the Sweet 16 and Elite Eight. Can this Aztecs team make another run? Good question.
