San Diego State National Championship Postgame Press Conference - 2023 NCAA Tournament 

So so so proud of you Men. Keep your head up. You beat the number 1 team in the entire country, Creighton, the country's darling in FAU and you brought down the score to 5 point where UConn on average beat there opponents by 20 points. You guys didn't just show up to a championship game and folded like the Padres and Chargers you showed up laced them up and went to work. I not only tip my hat and salute you, y'all put in major work when the country kept doubting us . We ARE AZTECS!!!!

Life-long UConn fan here... I just listened to this whole thing, and I'm very impressed with these guys. I suspect all four of them are going to be major winners in life in or out of basketball. They did themselves, their University, and their families proud. Much respect.

All of these men represented SDSU so well. Our team, coaches and fans really show what makes SDSU special. We don't have the big money of the huge conference and/or private schools, but we have good people. If you want to have a great experience with great people, whether you're an athlete or not, check out the Aztecs. There is a reason the school is hard to get accepted in, everyone wants to come here. Great University, great city, great education, at a decent price.

YOU CANNOT REPRESENT YOURSELF OR AN ORGANIZATION WITH MORE CLASS THAN BRIAN DUTCHER. THANK YOU COACH DUTCHER. A4L.

Proud is an understatement. The school spirit in the SDSU arena today was unforgettable. This team defeated the odds so many times, and I’m lucky to have been a student to witness it on campus. We’re so lucky to have had Dutch and this team show the world that SDSU has what it takes to play at this level. Can’t wait to see what else they’ll accomplish next year.

First elite 8 WIN First final 4 WIN Nothing to be sad about for these 2023 Aztecs ❤❤❤

Much love and respect to the Aztecs on a great season, as a Uconn fan over 35 years we should all be proud..We were the last two trams standing, I know only one team can come on top. But to me we are all winners here in my book. Brian Dutcher is one of the classiest coaches I have ever seen, I will pull hard for you guys to get a chip. Be proud SDSU, it's coming for you guys!! My heart hurts for the Seniors, when they play one shining moment it's hard for me to hold back tears.

After watching this press conference, I have a new respect for this team. What a classy interview....I wish them only the best!! Also, so proud of how they played last night!!!

You guys all made San Diego proud. There were so many great memories during this run that I will always remember. What an unbelievable season! Thank you Coach Dutch, the coaching staff, and the players! Go Aztecs!

Class people.

All SDSU alumni and San Diegans are so proud of these young men

I am glad to see Coach Dutcher and those four fantastic seniors able to smile some. This was an amazing and historic season for San Diego State. I wish the graduating seniors the very best as they move forward in their lives. Hopefully this run to the NCAA Tournament Final will propel the Aztecs to further great successes going forward.

Bought my Arop jersey the other day I'm gonna miss watching this team play. This team is now the standard all future Aztec teams will be measured by When I student, the Aztecs won 5 games under Fisher in his first season with 0 conference wins. To see San Diego State play for the Natty was an unfathomable dream until this run.

Stay classy San Diego, great job fellas we love y’all Aztecs for life!!

I’ll remember March Madness 2023 for a long long time thanks to this team ❤ . I’m from Butte MT and visited SD last year in Feb when it was 80 degrees , went to the zoo and the Lego Land with my Granddaughter . Love the area and this TEAM .

Coach Dutch is a great guy - State will be back.

Brian Dutcher appears to be a genuinely classy gentleman.....

Thank you coach and players for what you did for SDSU. For any of the past and present players reading this, thank you all for building the program to what it is today. It may be difficult to digest this, but what you did for the university has been invaluable not only for the school, but to the entire San Diego community. All of you have made SDSU into annual March Madness contenders and it's because of you that we are having sustained success at our school.

You guys HOLD YOUR HEAD HIGH. What a blessing to watch you, cheer for you and to experience your brotherhood. We could feel it and it was special. You are wonderful people who will go far in life. Thank you for the best season ever!

So proud of these guys, huge things to come for SDSU as a school and program in the years to come❤️🖤❤️🖤❤️

These 4 guys are the only ones who exhausted their eligibility. AFAIK the other 5 in the rotation can all come back next year if they want to. You guys all represented well. Thank you for wearing "San Diego State" on your uniform and whatever you do from now on know that San Diego loved what you did this year.

What a great team and great coach. I'm a UConn fan and don't think you could say enough good things about the SDSU program, they are doing it the right way for sure

I feel emotional and I'm not even a college basketball fan. lol. I wish these guys could somehow get together and play ball in the future. They're like family! They really love each other.

I’m so proud of these guys!

I am so proud of our team and coaches. They left it all on the court last night. I am a proud Aztec alumni tonight.

Congrats to the Men's Aztec team. They didn't win the championship but they have made San Diego proud. Way to never give up and leave it all on the court. Here's to future success. Cheers.

Class act.

Thanks for everything to all the seniors. Matt Bradley, so glad you came to San Diego and gave us a historic season. Stay strong and know that you left a legacy here that all San Diegans appreciate

Hold your heads high LOTS to be proud of. Fantastic season.

Legendary squad man. Will never forget. Been a fan since 04 and what a ride this season has been. Definitely my favorite season ever. Gonna miss the seniors from the cancelled Covid squad. Go Aztecs baby!

You guys make me proud to be an Aztec! We've never met but I feel like we're brothers! You set the stage for future generations! Aztecs for life!

❤🖤 I love you Aztecs team. We San Diegans are so proud of you. Thank you for your hard work and dedication.

Y'all put SD on the map. Much love. But this really put it in perspective. Winning is more than a score. You beat the odds just getting into this game. So no need to hang your heads. beautiful to see the brotherhood that we would have seen.

Matt Bradley is a beast, back when he was playing AAU he took on Compton Magic by himself ❤️‍🔥

San Diego State had a phenomenal season. Final Four men! You guys made all of Southern California so proud. Congratulations for all the accolades in 2023.

Could not be more proud or more appreciative of this outstanding representation from our coach and young men who exhibit class, grace, teamwork, and love for one another and their entire team. It is what good sportsmanship and team athletics should be all about. They have set the bar so high for others to follow. Thank you!

From a UConn fan this is Class right here.

Gonna miss this group. Y'all did San Diego proud. Much love boys

Great press conference. Dutch represents the university extremely well!

What a great. team and a great group of young men. This was a special season. Fight on!

That coach has class

FIRE COACH DUTCHER! Of course, I firmly assert that every head coach who did not win the national title should be fired. Yeah, it'll be chaotic every season, but chaos is cool. Okay, seriously, this was a fantastic season, and the MWC and NCAA tourneys were awesome, especially the NCAA tourney. Thank you for the wonderful memories, Aztecs. We love you guys! We will always remember the 2023 Aztecs!

You can see the emotion in these guys. Will always be proud of them for putting SDSU Basketball on the map.

Aztecs made great effort, no hang heads, take a bow San Diego! Thank you SDSU🏀. I’m a 4ever Aztecs & Padres fan 🥰👏🏽(& I live in FL 🤙🏽)!!! 🤙🏽

They played hard. Got further then we all expected except them. For all of us in San Diego you will always be champions. Final Four semi finalist. Great job and good luck to the seniors. Aztec for life right here!

♥️🖤❤️🖤 SDSU!!! We love you guys keep it strong my heart goes out for you.

Class coach , and kids, the Aztecs are good as a team,citizens!

I have met and spoken at length with Steve Fisher, Brian Dutcher and Jim Calhoun. Those three set the tone for what these two programs are today. Fisher and Dutcher are absolutely stellar human beings. Jim Calhoun smelled of scotch and contempt.

We lost. But we see not beaten ❤❤ great run sdsu!

Proud ❤

A great team, relentless and a group of genuine people.

This team is the best defense in the country… I give a congrats to any team that can expose this defense.

Uconn fan here. Respect you guys. You were incredible in the tournament. Aztecs have arrived

Very inspirational! Your dedication to your craft is contagious!

LOVE S D S U no excuses nothing but heart ❤️ there’s a big-time player sitting on the bench at one of those big time colleges come to SDSU help be a part of this building program get off the bench and start with this team.

This is what school athletics is all about, bringing out the best of good young men and women. These players and Aztec fans have alot to remember and alot to be thankful for.

Great season and 2023 tournament! Despite the loss, it's an overall win for SDSU, SDSU Athletics, and the City of SD.

You're the best! Thank you for the best season! We support you always ❤🖤❤🖤❤

Coach said next year?? UCONN has a top 5 recruiting class coming in next year with this team! That being said SD played well, and showed great sportsmanship!

They played a tremendous game despite a 2nd night of horrible tournament officiating that was stacked against them from the initial tip-off.

Classy ! Hope they have more success in their futures ! 👍

I'm proud to be proud of being from San Diego. Best run in NCAA history next to FAU. ❤❤❤❤

1904! I’m a proud San Diegan today

Wonderful student athletes!

UConn fan here, respect to the Aztecs

Wow...such beautiful stories of brotherhood ❤❤❤

Awesome year, we're proud of your amazing season! Hold your heads up 👍🏀
