Marching on: San Diego State overcomes uneven play to beat UNLV in Mountain West quarterfinals

The masters of survive and advance survived and advanced. San Diego State went down early , went up 10 in the second half , struggled against a 1-3-1 defense , missed free throws in the closing seconds of regulation and went to overtime , just as it had six days earlier in the regular-season finale. The difference? This was the Mountain West tournament. The Aztecs weren’t losing.

’s freshman point guard who tormented Aztecs all afternoon with 29 points, missed a finger roll at the other end. LeDee got the rebound, made both free throws , and the Aztecs called timeout with 2.7 seconds left. The plan was to foul, if possible, trading two free throws for a potentially game-tying 3, but at the very least bracket two defenders on Thomas. And what happened? Thomas got the ball and weaved through Lamont Butler and Trammell at midcourt, creating a decent look from 25 feet.
