The celebration is on for the San Diego State Aztecs.

No. 5 SDSU punched its first ever ticket to the Final Four with a 57-56 win over No. 6 Creighton in the Elite Eight of the men's 2023 NCAA Tournament on Sunday. Darrion Trammell knocked down the game-winning free throw with 1.2 seconds remaining to book the Aztecs' trip to Houston.

SDSU celebrated the historic win in traditional fashion by cutting down the net at the KFC YUM! Center in Louisville, Kentucky. Although, the Aztecs put their own twist on it.

After head coach Brian Dutcher finished cutting the net off the rim, he did a trust fall off the ladder and into the arms of his players.

Dutcher's sixth season at the helm has turned out to be the best one in program history. The Aztecs had never been beyond the Sweet 16 prior to this season, and now they're Final Four bound.

SDSU will face another school making its Final Four debut in No. 9 Florida Atlantic. The Owls are coming off upsets of No. 4 Tennessee and No. 3 Kansas State.
