Fresno State on the road Wednesday

The Spartans will be facing the Raisinettes on Wednesday down in the San Joaquin. Back on January 14, it was 73-62 with homestanding SJSU on the downside.

Our writeup then:

"The Spartans were down by just two at the half but Fresno State advanced the lead early in the second 20 minutes and won 73-62 tonight at Walt McPherson Court.

Sophomore Rashad Muhammad led with 16 points followed by Jaleel Williams' 13 and he also contributed six boards. Brandon Mitchell filled the stat sheet coming close to a double-double with nine points and nine rebounds, all in 20 minutes of court time.

SJSU out-boarded the Bulldogs 33- 25 and remarkably shot 26 free throws to 16 for the visitors. A 17-11 deficit in turnovers hindered the chances for victory though. Fresno also made 26 baskets to 18 for the Spartans."

The 10-12, 5-4 Bulldogs are not doing all that well and are small ball oriented.
Marvelle Harris is averaging 17.6 points per game, Cezar Guerrero 11.8, Paul Watson 11.7 ppg and Julien Lewis 10.9. However, Watson is the tallest at 6-foot-7.

6-foot-9 Braeden Anderson just hasn't come on after missing last season due to the aftereffects of an automobile accident. Alex Davis, also 6-foot-9, is on suspension.

This is a team that started 0-6 against DI teams this season which produced a major amount of fan grumbling. Then, some wins arrived to quiet matters down but it's been an off-and-on effort since with the highlight of the season being a 59-57 January 3 home win versus San Diego State. Colorado State just clobbered the Bulldogs 80-57 last Saturday.
