The San Diego State Aztecs beat the Florida Atlantic Owls by a score of 72-71. After a week of talking heads in the media complaining about there being no blue bloods in the final four, the Aztecs and the Owls provided one of the most entertaining games of the season.
The Aztecs came out swinging, and Matt Bradley in particular started the game on fire. He made his first four shots, three of them from behind the arc, and helped the Aztecs gain an early lead.
