Aztecs get 11 seed, draw Houston in NCAA Tournament

Dutcher isn’t allowing himself to think about it happening this year.

“Houston’s too good,” he said. “They’ve got my full attention.”

That the Aztecs are even in the NCAA Tournament was crazy talk a month ago, with a 13-10 record, buried in eighth place in a ho-hum league. Winning three games in three days at the Mountain West tournament got them in. Winning nine straight after the return of injured guard Trey Kell got them an 11 seed.
