News and notes following San Diego State's Elite Eight physical, nerve-racking win over Creighton in Louisville
San Diego State coach Brian Dutcher called timeout with 6.7 seconds left and drew up a play for his team to win the game.
Darrion Trammell did, getting the ball and driving left into the lane. Official Lee Cassell ruled he was fouled by Creighton’s Ryan Nembhard, and Trammell made one of two free throws with 1.2 seconds left for a 57-56 victory that sent the Aztecs to the Final Four for the first time in school history.
“He’s made a ton of big shots in practice, and they all get opportunities,” Dutcher said. “It was just Micah at that time.” “I looked to see if there was a lane to the basket,” Arop said, “but then I remembered there were 6 seconds left — plenty of time. So I got it to Darrion. I trust him more than me.”
