Jaedon Ledee 23-24’ season historical ranks:
•PTS 772 -1st
•FGM 263 -1st
•FTA 308 -1st
•FTM 226 -1st
•PER 30.4 -1st
•Off. Win Shares -1st
•4th All-American in school history.
Arguably the greatest ever by an Aztec. Thanks for choosing us
@jae_ledee
we were blessed.
Shoutout Utah State!!
Aggies beat TCU, 88-72 and win their first NCAA tournament game since 2001!
MWC collectively 3-4, but this is the 1st time the conf has won 3 games in a single NCAAT.
#SixBidMW
•San Diego State has as many NCAA Tournament victories (6) in their past 7 appearances than the other MW schools combined, since 2010.
•SDSU has more tourney wins (11) than the rest of the MW combined (10), since its inception in 1999.
We are The Peak.
Regardless of what you may read on Twitter, a 40-point loss doesn’t warrant a cheap-shot on Utah State or Mountain West seeding.
I don’t know if the 96’ Bulls were beating that Purdue squad when they shot 60% from the floor, 48% from 3P, and 83% from FT.
Mountain West got FLEECED seeding-wise, and it wasn’t close.
Out of 3+ bid leagues they were dead-last and it was astoundingly low.
Boise got a play-in, CSU got a play-in New Mexico HAD to beat SDSU, etc.
But let’s make sure we play Air Force and San Jose twice!!
BOOM! 2024 6’6” and top-100 player Pharaoh Compton commits to the Aztecs!!
BIG get for Dutcher and staff.
Aztec Nation - welcome
@PharaohCompton
to the Mesa 🔴⚫️🔥
What a beautiful W man, that was SOLID. Aztecs finally get a Q1 win.
LeDee 20pts, 7reb
Waters 21pts
DT 17pts off the bench
This is some serious momentum to build off of as we head into the New Year.
Go Aztecs🔴⚫️
Sweet-16 appearances - Mountain West Conference - since its inception in 1999:
San Diego State - 4
Rest of MW - 4*
(*includes Utah 05’, BYU 11’)
WE ARE THE PEAK🏔️
Colorado State handles Utah State in Fort Collins 75-55.
SDSU now in 1st place (tiebreaker over Utah State) with a chance on Tuesday to solidify the top spot in the MWC.
BIG implications Tuesday in Logan.
Mountain West Bracket thoughts: as a whole seeded VERY low. Two play-in games?
-SDSU (5) vs UAB.
-Utah State (8) vs TCU.
-Boise (10) First Four vs Colorado.
-CSU (10) First Four vs UVA.
-Nevada (10) vs Dayton
-NM (11) may not of been in w/o MW tourney…
Avg seed = 9
JEEZ
Man what a ride. Remember all of the great moments this season provided. Truly a historic one that cannot and will not be taken for granted.
THANK YOU to everybody on Twitter. I started this as a way to write down my thoughts and the support has been amazing ❤️🖤
Jaedon LeDee came into tonight’s game T-5th in fouls drawn and T-8th in FTA/game - entire D1.
Tonight, he drew 15 fouls and attempted 19 FT’s (making 14).
31pts, 10reb for LeDee in the 81-78 win. Unreal. NIGHTMARE to defend.
Hell of a quote from Pitino🔥
I will stand by this forever: Twitter bracketology is better than ESPN/CBS/FOX, etc.
Fans who WATCH the game at all hours of the day!
So this was posted last night before our game.
Immediately after, BYU went and did something that just 6% (‼️) of teams have done in the past 20 seasons - win on the road at Kansas.
I’ll take my Twitter bracketologists any day of the week and twice on Sunday
Can’t help but be excited to see the transfers that Sean Lewis will bring in/with him to SDSU.
Legitimate 21st century offense is on the horizon, this is big.
What a hire.
Free agent guard Malachi Flynn has agreed on a one-year deal with the San Antonio Spurs, sources tell
@TheAthletic
@Stadium
. Flynn – who had a career high 50 points in April – averaged eight points in 14 minutes per game for Pistons last season.
Lamont Butler SDSU’ Career:
•131 games (.763 win%)
•1008 points
•1st in Steal% (3 highest single season stl%)
•5th in total Stl
•Top-10 in AST/AST%
•NCAA All-Tourney + All-Region
•2022-23 All-MWC
•3x MWC All-Defense
•2023-24 MWC DPOY
Biggest shot in program history.
UConn is 39-3 in their last 42 games and have won 8 consecutive NCAAT games by an average of 22 points. Yes, you read that correctly.
But I will say, I love the underdog position SDSU is in. House money, leave it all on the court, nobody expects even a close game…
AZTECS WIN 71-55
Some absolutely SUFFOCATING Aztecs defense in the 2nd half. CSU scores just 11 second half points - outscored 41-11
Rams shoot just 3-25 (12%‼️) from the floor in the 2nd half.
Might be the biggest difference in halves that I can remember from an Aztec team🤯
Alright I’m gonna rant. So we got dudes being drafted from overseas averaging 3 points a game, meanwhile a guy like Jaedon LeDee who averaged 21 and 8 on 56% shooting is yet to be signed?
I get “potential picks”, but there are a ton of proven college guys being overlooked.
Look a narrative is a narrative, but if it keeps happening is it false??
MWC 1-2 thus far, with three games to play but the committee basically said “prove it” to the conference as a whole and that was not a good look.
Ugh
Some of y’all need to quit speculating and accept it for what it is. Lamont spent 4 years on the Mesa, got to the Natty and Sweet-16, while winning several MWC titles. He owes us nothing.
He’s a Wildcat now. Doesn’t matter how or why he got there.
Sweet-16 - Thursday:
4:39pm TBS - (5) San Diego State / Yale vs. (1) UConn
Kevin Harlan / Dan Bonner, Stan Van Gundy // Andy Katz
Distance to TD Garden:
SDSU: 3,021 mi
UConn: 85 mi
Mal’s 50 piece was quite historic:
•2nd-most points off the bench in NBA history (Jamal Crawford - 51)
•3rd bench player EVER to score 50 off the bench
All he needed was a chance, I really hope this means more minutes down the road. Lets go!!
Sources: Next season's game between Gonzaga and San Diego State will be played on Monday, November 18th at Viejas Arena.
Return game of home-and-home series.
81-70 Aztecs WIN!
What a game. The energy in Viejas was electric. The fans did their part, the players did theirs.
Very important standings-wise game at Utah State on Tuesday with BIG implications.
Always refreshing to give New Mexico the “L” in Lobo.
Go Tecs’
All-WCC PG Wayne McKinney III - a Coronado native - is signing with the Aztecs, per his IG.
Averaged 13.5pts on 43% FG% for USD last season. His 47.2% FTR is good for 90%ile in D1.
Fills the void Lamont Butler left. Welcome to the Mesa
@Waynemckinn3y
🔴⚫️
Man,
UNLV knocks off Creighton (8), Utah State is 10-1, New Mexico is 9-1, Nevada is 8-1, SDSU is 8-2, Colorado State is ranked 17th.
5 teams in KenPom top-60
5 teams in NET top-52
Mountain West is loaded once again. 4 bids? 5 bids? Sheesh.
This is all setup for the committee and fans across the country to say “I told you so” to the conference as a whole.
6 bids is extremely impressive, but my goodness the seeding + matchups are insanely difficult.
NEED to win at least 3 games… cannot be flat once again.
AZTECS WIN!
DOMINATE Yale 85-57 and advance to the Sweet-16 for the 2nd consecutive season.
Aztecs playing their best games of the season at the best time.
LeDee 26pts, 9reb
Trammell 18pts, 4 3PM
Lamont notches 1,000 career points
Season high 14 3PM
UConn on Thursday👀
81-67, Aztecs win. Just a complete game from top to bottom.
Held Utah State to 41% FG% (nearly 10% below avg)
Pal 16pts (5-5 FG), 6reb, 1stl, 1blk
LeDee 16pts, 9reb
Parrish 12pts off bench
Best overall performance of the season imo. It’s how you respond!
Go Tecs🔴⚫️📈
Seems like the coaching staff has made a concerted effort to recruit the Vegas area, and it has paid off. Landed the top-2 players from the region.
Aztecs dominate Vegas.
AZTECS WIN!
Beat UAB 69-65. LeDee DOMINANT with 32 points - a San Diego State NCAA tournament record.
Aztecs play winner of Auburn - Yale, a potential matchup with former Aztec Chad Baker-Mazara.
SURVIVE AND ADVANCE
As voted by the media - Jaedon LeDee wins MWC player of the year - by a 7-4 tally.
-Darius Brown (3 votes)
-Great Osobor (1 vote)
Not a single Aztec outside of Lamont Butler (honorable mention) won an award or all-conf.
Coaches votes are released Tuesday.
-Nevada dominates Utah State in Logan.
-Boise State loses on the road by 15 in Fort Collins.
The Aztecs have a chance to end the night in a 4-way tie for 1st place in the MW. It’s getting fun at the Peak!
Nate with some impressive Summer League stats thus far:
20pts
19reb (9OReb)
2ast
8-11 FG
28min
Several hustle plays that can’t be seen in the stat sheets as well. Very very efficient so far🔥
Lady Aztecs (7) bounce New Mexico (2) in quarterfinals. Will face winner of Wyoming-Boise State in the semi’s. Important to note - wouldn’t have to face UNLV (1) until the champ game.
Keep it going
@Aztec_WBB
🔥
71-59 Aztecs beat Nevada. Wolfpack have NEVER won in Viejas.
Great win. Got scary a bit, but Aztecs took a couple punches and regrouped.
LeDee 22pts, 12reb
Waters 14pts, 7reb
Pal 8pts, 10reb
15-3 (4-1) T-1st in MWC📈
Shoutout Aztec For Life
@ChadBaker2700
. SEC Champion + All-SEC Tournament team.
Man, did we have a special player… Hard to comprehend the basketball journey he has been through.
Duquesne, SDSU, Northwest Florida State, Auburn. Easy dude to root for.
Some of y’all are insufferable man. Acting like you have any real knowledge about the program. Give me a break. “Aztec Twitter” is becoming very toxic - just bc a couple guys wanna play elsewhere? It’s not that deep… goodness
Obv an Aztecs account - but I’ll always give credit where credit is due.
What Danny Sprinkle has done at Utah State is very impressive given the preseason expectations (or lack thereof).
Utah State. 14-1. Aggies beat Colorado State at home in Logan. I’m not sure winning on the road in the Mountain West is going to be possible this season.
This is truly confusing. Why in the world should a team be penalized for playing in altitude? Isn’t it harder to play at altitude, yet the BPI penalizes these schools? Truly don’t understand…
Friendly reminder to all who are wondering why the Mountain West seeding was so wonky yesterday.
It was almost assuredly due in part to predictive metric BPI, which is on team sheets (along with KenPom) & penalizes teams at altitude (see below).
Craziest part of Jaedon LeDee success? I am not ONE BIT surprised. This is what those who knew, KNEW.
This talent was the same talent that redshirted a year and came off the bench last season.
SO glad it’s coming together and he’s able to showcase his skill set!
#JaeDay
😤
This right here is why it’s so hard to schedule home and home games. To visiting teams it’s a lose-lose situation, you have to travel AND likely lose.
Shoutout Gonzaga for taking a H&H. Other CA schools (UCLA) won’t dare schedule us on the road.
So let me get this straight - a fan can chirp and say whatever at Reese. But the MINUTE he responds in ANY way, it’s a technical?
(This is assuming it wasn’t directed towards player)
Double standard is insane
San Diego junior Wayne McKinney has entered the transfer portal.
The 6’0” guard started 32/32 games, averaging 13.5 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and 1.3 steals.
GAMEDAY Aztec Nation!
HUGE game for both squads. I think we all know the implications of this game. 1st place and the drivers seat of the MWC.
If there was ever a time to pick up our first Q1 MW road win - it would be tonight!
A win for either squad would boost Sole % 📈
Let’s be brutally honest with ourselves. With the Osobor news of potentially $2.2mm for a YEAR at Washington - who in their right mind wouldn’t transfer into that?
Is “loyalty” worth more than $2.2mm? No…
Exhale. AZTECS WIN 47-71 - avenging their loss to UNLV just 9 days ago.
This. Is. March. Survive and advance. Jaedon LeDee - who got snubbed as MW POTY - goes off for 34 and 16.
SDSU in semi’s for 16th consecutive season.
Aggies - Aztecs, Friday 6:30pm.
April Fools Day?
More like, “it’s Butler, with two seconds, he’s got to put it up…. HE WINS IT, HE WINS IT. A SAN DIEGO STATE MIRACLE”
Lamont Butler day in San Diego🔥
Utah State. 14-1. Aggies beat Colorado State at home in Logan. I’m not sure winning on the road in the Mountain West is going to be possible this season.
Cannot put into words how bad of a loss this was. Absolutely could not afford this. One of the worst losses in the history of the program - not an overreaction.
Unbelievable.
