Only a few months ago, San Diego State and Creighton shared a charter flight en route to the Maui Invitational.
Head coaches Brian Dutcher and Greg McDermott sat across the aisle from one-another for six hours, chatting about their teams and musing about the possibility of meeting in the Maui title game.The Aztecs and Bluejays missed each other in Maui, but, as fate would have it, their paths would cross again with a little more at stake. They both fought their way through the upset-laden South region to set up an unlikely regional final between the No. 5 and 6 seeds.
Creighton had evened the score moments earlier thanks to a disastrous gaffe from the Aztecs on an inbounds play. Adam Seiko tried to throw a pass high to Micah Parrish, but Baylor Scheierman intercepted it and laid the ball up to tie the game at 56. The day before home games during his debut season at San Diego State, Fisher would venture onto campus with his pockets stuffed full of free tickets. More often than not, he couldn’t give them all away. Students and alums in sun-drenched San Diego had better things to do than support a losing team.
