When Creighton faces off against San Diego State in the NCAA Tournament, a rivalry that has been going on for years will be renewed. Brothers Mike and Matt Mitchell, both of whom play for Creighton and San Diego State, respectively, will be pitted against each other in an intense matchup.

On the other hand, his brother Matt, a freshman guard for the Aztecs, is averaging 7.4 points, 2.6 assists, and 2.9 rebounds per game.

The brothers have been competing against each other since they were kids, but this will be the first time they will face off in a collegiate basketball game. Both of them have expressed excitement in the lead up to the matchup, but also recognize the challenge they will face.

“It’s going to be a huge challenge,” Mike said. “It’s going to be tough to go against my brother, but I’m excited for the opportunity.”

Matt echoed his brother’s sentiments, saying, “It’s going to be an incredible experience. I’m just excited to be able to compete against my brother.”

The Mitchell brothers will be the focus of the matchup, but the game itself will be a battle between two of the top teams in the nation. Creighton has been a powerhouse in college basketball for years, while San Diego State has had a remarkable season and is a favorite to make a deep run in the tournament.

This game is sure to be an exciting one, as two of the nation’s best teams battle for a spot in the Sweet Sixteen. But beyond the competition, the Mitchell brothers will be competing against each other in a matchup that will be remembered for years to come.
