No. 5 seed San Diego State advances to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2014 and will play No. 1 seed Alabama on Friday, March 24th.
Senior Guard Adam Seiko said he is motivated by the pandemic-canceled 2020 NCAA tournament.
“Myself, Keshad, A.G, Nate, Jared Barnett were on that team, and for that to go down how it did, was very disappointing and flashback three years later, we’re making a run in the tournament in the sweet 16,” Seiko continued. “So we’re not complacent, we want to keep making a run hopefully to the Final Four.”“We’ll pull up tweets, videos and everything that people are talking down on us and not expecting us to win. They’re not believers and we embrace it.
Both Seiko and Arop say the team has been preparing for this opportunity since the beginning of the season and are ready to do whatever it takes to win. “It’ll show when it comes game time, who’s willing to dive on the floor first, who’s willing to get the loose balls; the team that’s willing to stay together once we hit adversity, that will be the team that wants it more,” Arop said.“It’ll show when it comes game time. Who’s willing to dive on the floor first, who’s willing to get the loose balls. The team that’s willing to stay together once we hit adversity, that will be the team that wants it more,” Arop said.
“All the fans coming to the game supporting us,” Dutcher said, “it's all just a blessing to see them out there with us and carry on this energy with us and going on to Kentucky, and hopefully we get the same amount of love. I know it's going to be packed with Alabama fans over there. But I know our fans will show up as well.”
