WATCH: San Diego State guard Adam Seiko and Creighton forward Arthur Kaluma hug following Elite Eight matchup

It’s a rare occasion to watch two brothers play against each other in an NCAA Tournament game. It’s even rarer that you see two brothers battle against each other for a spot in the Final Four. Such was the case on Sunday, when two brothers faced off in the San Diego State–Creighton Elite Eight matchup. San Diego State’s Adam Seiko and Creighton’s Arthur Kaluma are brothers and following the hard-fought game in which San Diego State prevailed 57-56, they shared a brief moment on the court as they hugged each other.

Seiko had two rebounds and one assist in Sunday’s game. Kaluma stuffed the stat sheet with 12 points, five rebounds, and one assist in the loss for the Bluejays. He also battled for the basketball in the final seconds with San Diego State’s Aguek Arop, before the ball was deflected out of bounds. Officials reviewed the play and determined that time had expired, and the Aztecs began to celebrate.

When Kaluma committed to Creighton in the 2021 cycle, he was the highest rated recruit in the Greg McDermott era. Kaluma and Seiko both grew up together in Uganda and they also played together on the Ugandan National Team. At Afrobasket 2021, Kaluma averaged 13.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.2 blocks per game.

Sunday’s game ended with plenty of controversy on Sunday afternoon, as Bluejays fans were likely frustrated with a foul call on Ryan Nembhard with 1.2 seconds left. There was also controversy surrounding the full court heave at the end by Creighton’s Baylor Scheierman, but officials made the correct call after reviewing it.

San Diego State has a number of interesting stories, like their shot blocker, Nathan Mensah, who was born in Ghana. He almost turned pro last year but didn’t want to leave school on a bad note, so he took an internship at a financial company and decided to remain in school. He also played a critical role in guiding the Aztecs to their first Final Four in school history. Mensah drilled a jumper with 1:37 left in the game to give SDSU a 56-54 lead. He also reminded everyone that he’s one of the best defenders in the country, swatting three blocks, grabbing six rebounds, and scoring six points.

Not only is the Final Four berth the first in San Diego State program history, but it’s the first time any team from the Mountain West Conference has ever reached the Final Four. San Diego State will face off against the Florida Atlantic Owls on Saturday, April 1 in Houston, Texas.
