San Diego State's March Madness Run: Can They Win It All?
San Diego State will make their first Final Four appearance in school history, representing a city not traditionally known for its rich basketball history. Steve Fisher arrived in 1999, taking over a lowly program that ranked among the worst in Division I. Fisher and Dutcher had a philosophy when it came to roster construction. They wanted to build a team that could defend and rebound at a high level and they recruited to that.
