San Diego St. 74, SJSU 56

For the first 20 minutes, San Jose State University was San Diego State's equal, even leading at the horn 36-35. But the second half was a different chapter, verse, book -- you name it -- with the Aztecs finishing on top 74-56. The Spartans were absent from the scoring tally for two long stretches in the second period lasting nearly 14 minutes.

Steve Fisher's crew shooting 15-28 at the foul line also helped the blue and gold.

It was Darryl Gaynor as The Man show early on, scoring 10 points before eight minutes ticked off the clock and he concluded with 23 points and four assists but, alas seven turnovers.

Rashad Muhammad was on top with 24 points via 8-14, 5-8 and 6-7 accuracy. The foul line attempts were a continuation of his becoming more familiar with the charity stripe of late -- a very good sign.

As a team, Coach Wojcik's guys concluded with these shooting numbers: 44%, 48% and 78%, each pretty remarkable considering the vaunted Aztec defensive prowess.
