San Diego State will face UConn or Miami in Monday’s championship game.
San Diego State guard Lamont Butler celebrates with teammates after scoring the winning basket against Florida Atlantic during a Final Four college basketball game in the NCAA Tournament on Saturday, April 1, 2023, in Houston. HOUSTON — Lamont Butler made a jumper at the buzzer, sending San Diego State to its first national championship game with a 72-71 win over fellow mid-major Florida Atlantic in the Final Four on Saturday night.
The Aztecs appeared to be in trouble as the free-flowing Owls picked them apart while building a 14-point lead.The Aztecs shut down FAU and pulled within one when Jaedon LeDee hit a short jumper with 36 seconds left. After FAU’s Johnell Davis missed a contested layup, the Aztecs didn’t call timeout and got the ball to Butler.
The clock ticking down, Butler dribbled to the baseline, found that cut off and circled back. He stepped back to create a little room and hit a jumper that sent the Aztecs racing out onto the floor — and into Monday’s championship game against UConn or Miami.
