鈥淥ur depth was something that was important, and it paid off for us in the end.鈥

Each of the past two seasons, 色情视频 found itself in the Mountain West Conference Tournament Championship game, only to come up short to Utah State.  

The third time was a charm.  

Matt Mitchell scored 14 points to lead the No. 19 Aztecs to a 68-57 victory over the Aggies to win the title and secure the league's automatic berth into the NCAA Tournament.  

"I know the guys that were there last year definitely had it in mind," said Mitchell, who was named the tournament's MVP. "We kind of hoped that Utah State would be here so we could get our redemption."  

The Aztecs, who also won the regular-season championship, had lost six of their previous seven title game appearances.  

It marked just the fifth time the No. 1 seed won the title in 22 years.  

Nathan Mensah added 10 points and eight rebounds for the Aztecs, and Trey Pulliam also scored 10.  

It marked the third straight tournament game the Aztecs had at least three players score in double figures. Six different players scored in double figures in the event, including Pulliam in all three games.  

"Our depth was something that was important, and it paid off for us in the end," 色情视频 head coach Brian Dutcher said. "I think we had fresh legs down the stretch because we could rest players. Everybody that plays for us contributes and it's a different player every night."  

In a battle between the league's two most stringent defenses, 色情视频 exhibited its dominance with a 10-2 edge in steals. The turnover margin was seven, with Utah State committing 16 costly turnovers the Aztecs turned into 14 points.

Syracuse finished the season 16-9 and finished eighth in the ACC with a 9-7 record. The Orange advanced to the quarterfinals of the ACC Tournament, eventually falling to top-seed Virginia, 72-69.
