Congresswoman Sara Jacobs said:
“I rise today as an incredibly proud San Diegan – and the proud daughter of an SDSU alum – to congratulate San Diego State University for making it to the Final Four for the first time in program history.
“After the tournament was canceled in 2020 – during one of SDSU’s best seasons – our dreams of a championship appearance were dashed. But this team has risen to the challenge and this year’s tournament has been electric for SDSU, defying the odds and expectations set against them.
“Led by Coach Brian Dutcher, they’ve been focused, steady, and resilient. They beat the #1 seed Alabama 71-64 in the Sweet 16. They beat Creighton 57-56 after senior Darrion Trammell sank a free-throw with 1.2 seconds left in the game.
“Out of 363 Division 1 men’s basketball teams, SDSU has outlasted all but 3. And now they’ll face off against Florida Atlantic this weekend. With more than 400,000 alumni, our entire community and all of California are behind you and rooting for you. Let’s go, San Diego State!”
