The AZTECS go for their 30th win against Alabama Friday in the most important game in SDSU history. Yes, I respect Alabama but they are beatable.

The AZTECS go for their 30th win against Alabama Friday in the most important game in SDSU history. Yes, I respect Alabama but they are beatable. ahead or the Uconn vs Kawhi team? I think not. Why? Because I could see that team winning the NC. in fact, I think we win the Uconn game we had as good a chance as any team to win the NC seeing Uconn won the NC. We appeared to be the better on court team, they appeared to be the smarter team. Getting Kawhi to open his mounth already in some foul trouble (unchracteristic for Kawhi, he virtually never had foul issues). The Franklin bump and associated academy award flop. They got us into foul trouble and changed the momentum. I believe this team has a much better chance against Alabama than the spread would dictate (I think we have a decent chance to beat Alabama - I do not like Alabama), but I do not see the Aztecs being NC. I hope I am wrong and certainly they are playing outstanding right now. That Kawhi team was outstanding all season. |

This edition of the Aztecs is currently much better positioned and has a far better shot -- regardless of what you think their chances are -- of winning a national championship than the 2011 team, just so you know. |

You have to look at what has happened around us, 1 and 2 seeds dropping like flies, and if we can somehow slow down Alabama and muck the game up like we are certainly capable of doing, we’ve got a shot. I think the 10-11 team was “better”, but this team is tough as nails and if we can get buckets we’re as good as anyone. Coach Fish always said that in the dance, you gotta be a little lucky…crazier things have happened. |

Beat Alabama and we face Creighton or Baylor to make the final 4. The game would be a pickem against either. The best team we would face in the final 4 would be Marquette who we would only be a slight underdog to. If we beat Alabama (a big if), we have a reasonable shot to make the championship game. |

The best team we would face in the final 4 would be Marquette who we would only be a sight underdog to. If we beat Alabama (a big if), we have a reasonable shot to make the championship game. Yes, beat Alabama and there’s a non-delusional path to the championship game. Crazy. |

Our half of the bracket has Alabama but the other half has UCLA, Houston, and Texas which I think are 3 of the 4 best remaining teams. |

This edition of the Aztecs is currently much better positioned and has a far better shot -- regardless of what you think their chances are -- of winning a national championship than the 2011 team, just so you know. Not sure how you can say that or your source(s). If you are just referring to your opinion that is fine, but the numbers show very different. I have seen the spread and the win odds on our next game. 18% win chance is what ESPN metrics are showing. I personally think that is too low, but I only watched a single Alabama game (versus Maryland). They looked very beatable to me. the Kawhi team was never going to have a game with that low of a win percentage. In addition, it was seeded higher (2 versus 5), had less losses (2 versus 6), had less poor loses (their worse loss was to BYU ranked #9 (the other BYU loss was ranked #7), Had better wins (over #11 Gonzage and #8 ranked BYU), had a higher RPI than our NET. The Kawhi worse loss going into NCAA tournament was better than our best win. That is the reality of the stats. The stats do not support your opinion or even come close to support your opinion. If you are just going on what you believe, I understand. I hope you are right. I believe this team has a much better chance than 18% against Alabama. Am I right? We will know better next Saturday. However, if we get by Alabama, we will almost certainly be the underdog in every game going forward. Kawhi team had statistically much better odds of winning the NC than this team. This does not mean that I am not rooting for them in every game. I also will not be surprised if we beat Alabama. Go Aztecs. |

Not so fast as Michigan State just beat Marquette. |

The 2011 team currently has a zero percent chance of winning a national championship so, yes, this team has a better shot right now. Well, at least someone got my quip. Thank you. |

Most important game in Aztec history? Is there one more important? I don't know if the Alabama is our most important in Aztec history, but if we do win it then I know for sure the most important game in Aztec history could be just 3 games away. |
