San Diego State Aztecs Men's Basketball History
San Diego State Teachers College first fielded a men's basketball team in 1921, and achieved success in the lower divisions of college basketball, winning the 1941 NAIA championship. From 1956 to 1970 the Aztecs played in Division II of the NCAA, making the leap to Division I in 1970 under Dick Davis.
San Diego Padres legend Tony Gwynn succeeded in both baseball and basketball at SDSU, becoming the only two-sport All-Conference player in WAC history. Gwynn still holds the Aztecs’ men’s basketball career mark for assists, with 590 between 1978 and 1981. Entertainer and television pioneer Art Linkletter also played for San Diego State in the program's early years.
Starting in 1999, a new era for San Diego State began as they moved from the Western Athletic Conference to the new Mountain West Conference and hired legendary Michigan coach Steve Fisher to rebuild the men’s basketball program. Los Angeles Clippers superstar and two-time NBA Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard played on the Aztecs from 2009 to 2011. The Aztecs reached the Sweet 16 twice, in 2011 and 2014, behind the play of Leonard and other such as Malcolm Thomas, D.J. Gay and Xavier Thames.
