Welcome back to Hike’s Peak, thank you for coming back to the mountain! After a week of March Madness, only one team out of the #SixBidMW fought their way into the Sweet Sixteen, that being San Diego State! We’ll talk about every game (including UNLV’s NIT run), Danny Sprinkle leaving Logan for Washington, the biggest names hitting the transfer portal, and preview/predict the Aztecs rematch of last year’s championship game with number one overall seed UConn. Enjoy!

Summary:

  1. Jaedon LeDee stars in both Aztec wins, thriller against #12 UAB, shellacking of #13 Yale

  3. Danny Sprinkle leaves for Washington after one season. Candidates for potential replacements
  4. Boise State’s offense goes cold in final minutes as Colorado dooms them in Dayton
