San Diego State muscles past Creighton, makes 1st Final Four

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) Darrion Trammell had shot enough free throws in practice to believe at least one would fall when it mattered.

San Diego State's 5-foot-10 senior guard was fouled by Creighton's Ryan Nembhard when he put up a floater near the free-throw line with 1.2 seconds left in a rugged NCAA Tournament East Region final that was tied at 56-all.

Trammell's first free throw clanged off the rim, but he knocked down the second, and that was enough to push the defense-first Aztecs into their first Final Four with a 57-56 victory on Sunday.
