San Diego State's Blowout Win vs. Yale Praised by March Madness Fans; Will Face UConn | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors
Sophia Dalton San Diego State is heading back to the Sweet 16 after an 85-57 rout over Yale on Sunday.
The No. 5 Aztecs wouldn't allow another upset for the No. 13 Bulldogs, who upset No. 4 Auburn in the first round, and now they're on their way to the second weekend in back-to-back seasons.
Senior forward Jaedon LeDee led the way for the Aztecs, dropping a game-high 26 points, and Darrion Trammell also put together a solid game with 18 points.
San Diego State's offense as a whole was firing on all cylinders, shooting an efficient 52.7 percent from the field and 48.1 percent from deep. If the Aztecs' offense can stay hot, they could be dancing well past the Sweet 16.
After the dominant win, fans praised San Diego State for taking care of business against the lower seed.

Darnay Tripp @DarnayTrippSan Diego State should just shoot 60 percent from deep every game. They'd never lose.
San Diego State now has a matchup with UConn, which beat the Aztecs in last year's national championship. The Huskies boast one of the best offenses in the country and were the top overall seed for a reason, but San Diego State is looking for a redemption game.
