San Diego State and Creighton, despite being in different conferences, meet for the fifth time since 2011 with the winner headed to the Final Four in Houston
San Diego State and Creighton were both in the Maui Invitational last November. They decided to share a charter flight there and back.
The schools are 1,300 miles apart, one public, the other private. One on the Pacific Coast, the other in middle America. One backed by mountains, the other by cornfields. One bordering a foreign country, the other bordering South Dakota. Darrion Trammell had just entered the transfer portal from Seattle University and happened to catch the game on TV. He remembers feeling sorry for the Aztecs, marveling at the madness of March. A week later, he was being courted by them.
The only people who might want it more are Adam and Arthur’s parents, especially after spending last week shuttling between Orlando and Denver to see their sons play in the NCAA Tournament, one on Thursday and Saturday, the other on Friday and Sunday.The last time they played against each other before the NCAA Tournament in Fort Worth was four years earlier a pickup game at a YMCA near their home in the Dallas Metroplex. Arthur won a few games. Adam won a few.
A couple hours later, after Creighton dispatched Princeton 86-75 to secure its place in the Elite Eight, Kaluma was asked about the playful sibling trash talk following last year’s game that even McDermott admits “we had no business winning.”
