The Aztecs (32-7) captured the MW regular-season title with a 15-3 record, then won all three MW Tournament games en route to claiming the tournament championship. Earning a No. 5 seed in the South Region, SDSU defeated No. 12 College of Charleston and No. 13 Furman in Orlando, Florida, before downing the overall top seed Alabama in the Sweet 16 and No. 6 Creighton in the Elite Eight in Louisville, Kentucky, to win the South Regional and make its first Final Four. At NRG Stadium in Houston, San Diego State edged No. 9 Florida Atlantic on a buzzer beater by Lamont Butler before falling to UConn in the NCAA national championship game.
San Diego State's 32 wins overall were the second most in program history, only trailing the 34 victories by the 2010-11 squad, led by Kawhi Leonard.
