Santa Clara 61, SJSU 50

It was a matchup tied at halftime 32 apiece although San Jose State University led most of the way but Santa Clara distanced itself in the second 20 minutes to win 61-50. SJSU was the nominal host although there is but four miles between the locations of the two schools.

Rashad Muhammad led the Spartans with an efficient 15 points (5-6 shooting). Forward Frank Rogers was similar at 5-8 and completed the evening with 13 points and a team-leading eight boards -- four offensively, four defensively. In the backcourt, Jordan Baker totaled 12 points, six assists and five rebounds.

Jared Brownridge led the Broncos with 20 points on 7-10 accuracy overall and 5-6 from beyond the arc. Fellow guard Brandon Clark though was 2-14 from the floor.

It's next to impossible to determine the differences between the two sqauds but San Jose endured 20 turnovers to 11 for the victors.

Point Jalen James did not play and Mercury News beat reporter Jimmy Durkin reported that the sophomore guard is out for the season with a leg injury.
