San Diego State Aztecs Set to Clash with Creighton Bluejays at KFC Yum! Center
As the San Diego State Aztecs prepare to host the Creighton Bluejays at the KFC Yum! Center, fans can anticipate a competitive matchup. The Aztecs have been showing a strong performance trend, coming off a series of wins that have demonstrated their resilience and ability to close out games.
In their recent Sweet 16 game against Alabama's Crimson Tide, the Aztecs secured a victory with 71 points against 64. Their defensive prowess was on display as they racked up eight blocks and nine steals. Despite shooting just under 38 percent from two-point range and around 35 percent from beyond the arc, they managed to maintain control throughout the game.
The previous second-round game saw an even more impressive offensive output from San Diego State as they defeated Furman's Paladins with a score of 75 to 52. The team shot an exceptional 60 percent from two-point range and maintained a solid free throw percentage of nearly 79 percent. Their assist-to-turnover ratio was notable at approximately 1.7, indicating efficient ball movement and decision-making.
