San Diego State Aztecs Team Overview
Overall, the San Diego State Aztecs are 22-9 straight up, 12-16-1 against the spread, and 15-14 over/under the total. San Diego State has national metrics of 154th for scoring offense, 196th for field goal percentage, 301st for 3-point field goal percentage, 103rd for free throw percentage, and 96th for offensive rebounding. While defensively, San Diego State is 36th for scoring defense, 25th for field goal percentage permitted, 22nd for 3-point field goal percentage allowed, and 94th for defensive rebounding.
Late on, San Diego State has covered two of its previous eight games. San Diego State has gone over the total in four of its last six outings. First among San Diego State scorers is F Jaedon LeDee, with 21.0 points and 8.5 rebounds per game.
Another big game from Jaedon LeDee and some sizzling outside shooting landed San Diego State a matchup it has waited a year to get. After getting thumped in the national title game last April, the Aztecs earned another shot at defending champion UConn.
LeDee had 26 points and nine rebounds, Darrion Trammell added 18 points, and fifth-seeded San Diego State used a fast start to overwhelm 13th-seeded Yale, rolling to an 85-57 win in the second round of the NCAA Tournament on Sunday night.
The Aztecs scored the first 10 points of the game, led by 24 at halftime, and removed any chance of another potential March Madness, bracket-busting upset.
San Diego State earned a rematch with the No. 1 seed in the tournament in what will be a heavily partisan crowd in Boston. The Huskies beat the Aztecs 76-59 last April in Houston, denying San Diego State a chance at its first title.
The Aztecs will be playing in the Sweet 16 in consecutive years for the first time in school history.
LeDee was again the star for the Aztecs after he scored 32 points in the first-round win over UAB. He made 9 of 12 shots, including a pair of 3s, and in two tournament games, he is 20-for-30 shooting.
But some of the outside shooting that was absent in the tourney opener returned and San Diego State hit a season-high 13 3-pointers. Trammell had just four points and took four shots against UAB but hit four 3s against Yale.
