ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Matt Bradley's last NCAA Tournament game essentially ended with him bobbling the ball out of bounds, a costly turnover against Creigton in an overtime loss last year.
There was zero chance he was going to do it again.
Bradley scored 17 points and made play after play down the stretch, including hitting two free throws in the final minute, and No. 5 seed San Diego State held on to beat 12th-seeded College of Charleston 63-57 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on Thursday.
The victory was a measure of redemption for Bradley, whose mistake last year proved costly in the three-point loss.
