LA TimesSan Diego State forward Keshad Johnson comes down with a rebound during the first half of the Aztecs’ 72-71 comeback victory over Florida Atlantic in the Final Four on Saturday. LAMONT BUTLER WINS IT AT THE BUZZER 😱 THE AZTECS ARE #NATIONALCHAMPIONSHIP BOUND 🔥#MarchMadness pic.twitter.com/2sqxu5g05j — NCAA March Madness April 2, 2023 San Diego State trailed by 14 and didn’t lead Florida Atlantic in the second half until Butler’s 14-footer from the right side was released with 0.6 seconds left and made the net dance, giving the Aztecs a 72-71 win at Houston’s NRG Stadium and putting them in the national championship game here Monday night against Connecticut or Miami. “We’re proud to be moving on, representing San Diego State and the city of San Diego on Monday night.” Butler said he was told to “go downhill” — to the rim — but was blocked. San Diego State guard Darrion Trammell reacts after guard Lamont Butler hit the game-winning shot at the buzzer to head to the national championship game.
