I nominate seven games: the win at Kansas in 2014, the 2010-11 season wins at Gonzaga and the 2011 MWC championship payback win over byu in Las Vegas, also in 2011, the double OT NCAA tournament win over temple and making the sweet 16 for the first time. On Mar. 9, 2018, the win over Nevada in the conference tournament and on feb. 20, 2019 the win over Nevada. March 8, 2014, the comeback winner take all win over New Mexico to win the regular season title.

Have to add the UCLA win, the Gonzaga win at home 2 years ago, the win at Boise when Polee hit the last shot and the MWC tourney win against Nevada last season.

Best win was at Kansas. Kansas has a 68 game home non-conference winning streak. Kansas had future NBA players: Embiid, Wiggins, Mason, Black. It was a remarkable game that had a bit of everything including that late out of bounds replay that went SDSU’s way and quality bench minutes from James Johnson!?! The end of the broadcast where it goes mostly silent in Allen Fieldhouse while the (somewhat stunned) Aztecs celebrate is priceless.
Best loss was the sweet 16 game to Arizona that same season. Just a complete battle against future NBA players: Gordon, McConnell, Hollis-Jefferson. Tons of Aztecs fans in attendance at the Honda Center. X and Davis left absolutely everything on the floor and the image of them walking off after the game is forever in my mind. It sucked to lose this game but it’s one of the few losses that I’ve since gotten over and remembered fondly.

I remember ex-Aztec Tony Bland after the game, was in tears, he had already joined USC's Staff. |

Pounding UCLA at the Honda Center in Anaheim. A memorable chant by loyal Aztecs to sparse UCLA followers,"Where's your students?" The Kansas game is without a doubt the Top game since it was on the Jayhawk court where almost no visitor wins, but I agree with you on the game in Anaheim against UCLA in December 2012 as my number two Top game. It was supposed to be the Bruins own Tournament game, and we had more loyal fan at the game than UCLA. It was more like a home game for us. And, every time the Bruin faithful did one of their cheers, we did one that was stronger & louder than they could do! And, of course winning the game, 78-69, proved to be the undoing of the UCLA coach. He was let go at the end of the season, and Steve Alford (from New Mex.) was hired as the new Bruin coach. But, they never scheduled us again. Too bad. |

Agree with all of the above.
I'd also add:
1. Kawhi's 15 pts/23 boards in the 2010 MWCT final vs. Vegas
2. DJ's three most memorable games:
a. last second teardrop vs. Vegas in the semis in 2011
b. buzzer beater @csu
c. going ape$#!+ in the 2nd half @the Pit

the St. Mary's win was in 2009 so it just missed the 2010s. what I remember was that St. Mary's Patrick Mills was good. I will always remember the fans storming the court and filling up the whole court to the song "New York, New York'. As far as losses go the doubleheader loss to Utah for men and women's hoops title games in 2009 will stick with me as I was in the Thomas@Mack center. The Kansas st. game was moved to the jcp because the Lady AZTECS hosted the ncaa tournament that year beating DePaul and losing to Stanford.

Pounding UCLA at the Honda Center in Anaheim. A memorable chant by loyal Aztecs to sparse UCLA followers,"Where's your students?" Such a memorable game. We luckily found face-value tickets online one row behind the UCLA bench. I believe this was the year Ben Howland (IMO, a good coach) had a team full of young, highly-rated recruits. Howland was trying to coach these players the entire game, and it appeared to me, they were not paying much attention. Of course, the Aztecs fans behind the UCLA bench were doing their job helping to distract the players as well. Also, what made the win over UCLA even better was it was the Aztecs first time back to the Honda Center since the loss to UConn in the Sweet 16. Walking out of the Honda Center after the UConn loss was the most dejected I’ve felt as an Aztecs fan. Conversely, walking out after the UCLA win was one of the best feelings I’ve had as an Aztecs fan. Side note: the Aztecs wore red jerseys in this game. |

Paddy Mills was a good player. I think that he hated having that pesky little Richie Williams guarding him.

For me the top game will always be the comeback win against New Mexico during the Sweet 16 season with X, Davis and Polee. Maybe that's because I was there and I only witnessed the other games mentioned on TV. I took my dad who is no longer with us to that game and my dad was a stoic and very quiet man. I got to sit there with a smile and watch my 70 year old dad absolutely lose his mind during that amazing comeback. He might be the oldest dude to ever storm the court in college basketball history!
