HOUSTON -- Fresh off a dramatic Final Four win over Florida Atlantic, the San Diego State men's basketball team had its fourth full day on site Sunday in Houston. Aztec student-athletes held their third media session of the weekend and held a closed practice at NRG Stadium.

First up for the Aztecs were media appearances. Initially, head coach Brian Dutcher and student-athletes Lamont Butler and Matt Bradley were made available to the media on the press dais, while the rest took part in an open locker room. Butler, Bradley and fellow starters Keshad Johnson, Nathan Mensah and Darrion Trammell later participated in breakout media sessions.
 
Following the media requirements, the Aztecs held their third full practice on site at NRG Stadium, home of the Houston Texans, before heading back to the team hotel to prepare for tomorrow's national championship game.
 
SDSU, the No. 5 seed and South Regional champion, will face fourth-seeded and West Region champion UConn, for the national championship on Monday. Tip-off is set for 8:20 p.m. CT (6:20 p.m. PT).
