SAN JOSE- The Spartans welcomed Boise State to Provident Credit Union Event Center for a Mountain West clash.

Heading into this one San Jose State was coming off a loss against Wyoming in heartbreaking fashion. While on the other hand the Broncos had won their previous game against Utah Valley 85-63.

If the first half had a headline it would have to include Myron Amey Jr. who simply could not be stopped.

Accounting for more than half of SJSU’s 40 points Amey dropped a truly remarkable 25. With most of them coming from beyond the arch as he went 5-7 from three.

Despite the fantastic performance Amey wasn’t getting much help as the next closest scorer was Trey Anderson with six.

On the other side of the floor O’Mar Stanley was cooking in the paint with 15 points and five rebounds.

Heading into the second half with a five point lead it felt like SJSU was poised to pull off the upset.

Unfortunately for the blue-and-white though Amey went cold and the offense continued it’s poor first half play.

In comparison to the first Amey only had five points while Alvaro Cardenas lead the way with nine in the second half.

The Broncos went the opposite of cold as Stanley continued his stellar play with 15 points in the second half while Tyson Degenhart joined in contributing 17 as well.

What really put the game away was an 8-0 run by Boise State that sealed the deal and sucked all the life out of the stadium.

A frustrated Tim Miles slammed his clipboard against the hardwood floor at the 3:57 mark during a timeout but by then it was too late. The broncos took the lead on that same play making it 67-65 and they never looked back.

It was another game were SJSU lead most of the game but couldn’t hold on dropping their record to 7-8 and 0-2 in conference. Boise State with this win improves to a stellar 10-4 and are now 1-0 in conference.

“I mean at the end of the day we’re playing division one college basketball so I mean teams are gonna adjust and do whatever they can we can’t let that happen turnovers are a big part of the game,” Myron Amey Jr. said after the game.

San Jose State is now in desperate need of a win but their next opponent will not be easy as they will have to battle San Diego State. That game will be on Tuesday at home at 8 p.m.
