Rankings from AP/Coaches Poll

The 2010–11 San Diego State men's basketball team represented San Diego State University in the 2010–11 college basketball season. It was their 12th season in the Mountain West Conference. This was head coach Steve Fisher's twelfth season at San Diego State. The Aztecs competed in the Mountain West Conference and played their home games at Viejas Arena.

The 2010-11 season was arguably the best season in San Diego State's 90-year basketball history. The Aztecs finished the regular season as Mountain West Co-Champions with BYU,[1] and won the 2011 Mountain West Conference Men's Basketball Tournament to gain the conference's automatic bid to the 2011 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament.[2] After defeating Northern Colorado in the second round for their first ever NCAA Tournament win, the defeated Temple in the third round to advance to the Sweet Sixteen where they were defeated by eventual tournament champion Connecticut to finish the season 34–3. The 34 wins are easily the most in school history
