It took a while for San Diego State to get its big hurt ready and rolling but such finally made an appearance and the game became out of reach for San Jose State University in the second half, finishing at 90-64.
The Washington Square-ites were stuck on 38 points from the 15:45 mark in the second half until nine minutes remained.
Down 44-30 after the initial 20 minutes, the Spartans were burdened with 14 turnovers, 11 steals by the Aztecs and zero appearances at the foul line. A streak of points, even just six or seven, coming out in the second half would get them back in the game.
That didn't take place.
On the game, 27 of San Jose's 53 shots were of the beyond the arc variety and connecting on 37% isn't bad -- it was going 10-26 closer in that hurt the Spartans.
Junior forward Jaleel Williams paced SJSU with both 14 points plus eight boards and freshman guard Rashad Muhammad also finished with 14. The latter typified tonight's performance: 4-8 from beyond the arc, 0-5 from two-point range. Chris Cunningham enjoyed nine points (just three shots) and six boards.
It's worth noting to see if Matt Pollard can build upon his production tonight: five points and a trio of rebounds.
Here's a bevy of game photos.
Utah State comes to town on Saturday. In The Pit tonight, the Aggies battled New Mexico tough before falling 67-58. USU led 27-26 at the half.
