It may have come with a degree of controversy to some, but San Diego State’s men’s basketball team is on to the Final Four.
After defeating Creighton 57-56, San Diego State will feature on the last weekend of college basketball for the first time in the program’s history dating back to its first tournament berth in 1975. Before this year, San Diego State had never advanced past the Sweet 16. (The win also gave us a very sweet brotherly moment between San Diego State’s Adam Seiko and Creighton’s Arthur Kaluma.)
The young man who sent San Diego State to the Final Four was Darrion Trammell, who made a clutch free throw in the closing moments to give his team the final winning margin.
And when Trammell was interviewed in the postgame, the guard was almost immediately moved to tears at what he and his team had accomplished:
"I've been dreaming of this my whole life"

What a beautiful moment for Trammell and San Diego State. It’s these kinds of interview soundbites that make March Madness all the worthwhile.
