Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 3346747, member: 6927"] One cool tidbit: Both of these coaches are in their 20th season as HC at their respective schools. SDSU was still in D-II when Aaron Johnston took over the program, and he led them to the D-II national championship in 2003. SDSU moved to D-I after the 2004 season and joined the Summit League in 2007. Since then, SDSU has appeared in 9 NCAA tournaments and has advanced past the 1st round three times: [LIST] [*]2009: seeded #7, beat #10 TCU 90-55, lost to #2 Baylor 60-58 in round 2. [*]2016: seeded #12, beat #5 Miami 74-71, lost to #4 Stanford 66-55 in round 2. [*]2019: seeded #6, beat #11 Quinnipiac 76-65 and #3 Syracuse 75-64; lost to #2 Oregon 63-53 in the Sweet 16. [/LIST] During José Fernández's tenure, USF has spent 5 years in Conference USA, 8 years in the Big East, and going on 7 years in the AAC. He's taken USF to the NCAA tournament 6 times, including three 2nd-round finishes: [LIST] [*]2013: seeded #10, beat #7 Texas Tech 71-70, lost to #2 Cal 82-78 (OT). [*]2015: seeded #6, beat #11 LSU 60-52, lost to #3 Louisville 60-52. [*]2016: seeded #6, beat #11 Colorado State 48-45, lost to #3 UCLA 72-67. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
