Wyoming 46, San Jose State University 38

What a strange game. Actually make that half.

The best of times warped into the worst as the Spartans owned a three-point lead over Wyoming after the initial 20 minutes, 29-26.

But the court must have been infected with malware in the second half as SJSU totaled just nine points to 20 for the Cowboys and slogged to a 46-38 loss.

Freshman guard Isaac Thornton, who is turning out to be a gamer offering a variety of contributions, finished with 14 points while Chris Cunningham posted a 10/11 double-double.

Two other personnel notes: Dylan Alexander started and played 28 minutes while Rashad Muhammad received four minutes of time.

Wyoming's best player, Larry Nance, was limited to seven shot attempts and six points although he tied for the lead in rebounds with nine. It was time for guard Riley Grabau to shine as he imprinted 18 points and nine boards on the contest.

The Cowboys shot 40% for the game to 28% overall for the Spartans. The latter went 6-25 from beyond the arc but a perfect if paltry 6-6 at the charity stripe. SJSU won the boards battle 33-28 but had four steals to Wyoming's 10.
