I love pulling for an underdog
And we sure have one tonight!
UConn is a 7.5 favorite in tonight's
NCAA Championship game.
Go Aztecs!
San Diego State faces a dominant UConn team
With a chance to shock the college basketball world,
Win historic national title!
“Whether we’re making or missing shots,
We’re going to stick to our game plan of what
We’ve been doing all March,”
“We haven’t shot the ball pretty,
But we’ve been good at winning games.”
- Senior guard Matt Bradley
“They (UConn) haven’t had to worry about close
Games so far (in the tournament),”
“So I hope we can give them one, and we’ll see
What they do in a close game. They’ve been fantastic.
They’ve run through the field.”
- Coach Brian Dutcher
They’re long past it’s-all-gravy phase,
The cherry-on-top phase.
- Mark Zeigler
“That’s it,” “We have a national perception now.
I think everybody out west has always known we’ve
Been good. But now that we’re playing on the biggest stage,
And we’re winning on the biggest stage,
I think a lot like when Gonzaga made that step,
They did it on a national stage.
That’s how they gained respect.
“Hopefully this national stage will give us national respect.
That’s what I think it will do.”
Coach Brian Dutcher
