How a loss to Arizona helped move San Diego State to the brink of the Final Four

Sometimes a loss can be a turning point for a team. For the San Diego State Aztecs, a loss to the Arizona Wildcats early in the season may have been just that. The Aztecs were not expected to make it to the Final Four, but now they find themselves just one game away from that elusive goal.

The loss to Arizona in November was a wake-up call for the Aztecs. It was a reminder that they had to play at their best in order to succeed. After that game, the Aztecs went on a 26-game winning streak, the longest in the nation at the time.

That winning streak helped the Aztecs secure a number one seed in the NCAA Tournament. They won their first two games with ease, but faced a tough challenge in the Sweet Sixteen against the Syracuse Orange. The Aztecs were up to the challenge, however, and won a hard-fought battle to move on to the Elite Eight.

Now, the Aztecs are just one win away from the Final Four. They will face the Baylor Bears, one of the top teams in the country, in what promises to be a thrilling matchup. The Aztecs will need to play their best basketball of the season in order to win, but they are confident that they can rise to the challenge.

The loss to Arizona may have been a setback for the Aztecs, but it also served as a turning point. It reminded them of the hard work and dedication required to succeed, and motivated them to play at their best. Now, they stand just one win away from the Final Four, and the opportunity to make history for their program
