A former San Diego State Men’s Basketball coach says the Aztec's motto "I believe that we will win" is every reason why this year’s team is going to win the university's first national NCAA championship. The Aztecs trailed in the second half on Saturday against Florida Atlantic in the Final Four, but former Assistant coach for Men’s Basketball in the 1980’s, Michael Brunker never gave up. “We can win this game. We will win this game watch and see,” said Brunker. SDSU sophomore, Nick Kusior saw that buzzer beater shot from the stands in Houston. “Everyone just was like yelling and screaming. And I was thinking, ‘there's no way this actually happened. Like, with me sitting here. There's no way this actually happened,” said Kusior. But it did happen and now the Aztecs are playing in the NCAA championship for the first time in school history. “To think that San Diego State is here doing it for the big game, and it's going to happen tonight and we will win,” said Brunker. He coached the Aztecs from 1980-1987, he says it's not about hope, it's about having the mindset that you will win.
