The Spartans hit the road in Boise Idaho to take on a tough opponent in Boise State(18-8) at Extra Mile Arena in Boise.
Heading into this game San Jose State (9-18) had lost their last game against Wyoming in very close fashion 80-75.
The first half for San Jose State was about as bad as it gets. To put it simply the Spartans shot 22% from the field going 6-27 and with only three of their players scoring.
What really did the Spartans in though was a seven point run by Boise that tacked on to their already sizable lead making it 25-10.
Boise on the other hand while not incredible did what they needed to do going 52% from the field with Degenhart leading the way with nine points.
With the score at 38-16 starting off the second half the teams would exchange buckets.
Despite San Jose shooting significantly better the defense could not stop Boise’s offense as Max Rice and Chibuzo Agbo were the main catalysts.
Unsurprisingly in the second half the leading scorer was Myron Amey Jr. who dropped 13 while going 5-8 from the field.
The score ended at 82-50 with San Jose State finishing at 32.7% from the field while collecting 24 rebounds.
Boise State shot 55.2% from the field with their leading scorer being Tyson Degenhart who dropped 15 points.
One of the more shocking performances tonight was San Jose State’s Alvaro Cardenas who went 0-6 recording no points and four turnovers.
With the season starting to come to a close San Jose State will come back home to play Nevada who they played previously on the road in what was not a pretty affair. As the Spartans lost against Nevada by a final of 90-60.
San Jose State will look to bounce back against Nevada on Friday at 7 p.m.
