San Diego State University's national semifinal victory over Florida Atlantic University in the Final Four made for an electrifying weekend for both the students and residents of San Diego.

Fans tuned in to support the Aztecs on Saturday, as nearly 1 in 4 households in San Diego watched their local university take down the FAU Owl’s with their game winning buzzer-beater on KFMB (CBS) and earned this week's number one spot on our top five broadcast telecast rankings.
