NCAA Tournament: San Diego State Gets First March Madness Win, Preps For Temple

San Diego State posted the first NCAA Tournament victory in school history, beating Northern Colorado 68-50. This season has marked the best in program history by far, as we’re talking about a team that’s never even been ranked before this year. Can they put up their first-ever March Madness winning streak with a win against Temple?

Kawhi Leonard had a great game, putting up 21 points and 11 rebounds, but no other Aztecs player was able to shoot 50 percent or better.

No. 15 Northern Colorado isn’t interested in giving No. 2 San Diego State its first-ever March Madness win, whether its the Aztecs dream season or not. The Bears are down only 30-24 at the half, keeping step with SDSU for more of the first half before falling behind by 10 and catching back up.

Though Kawhi Leonard has 10 points, the rest of his team has combined to hit only seven of their 26 attempts from the floor. That’s really bad, by the way. NCU isn’t shooting much better and has turned the ball over more, but is hanging in there thanks to ... well, this game is kind of a mess.
