The San Jose State Spartans concluded its back-to-back conference series against the Utah State Aggies at the Smith Spectrum on Wednesday evening.

Spartans head coach Jean Prioleau switched up his starting five, which featured Omari Moore, Seneca Knight, Sebastian Mendoza, Ralph Agee, and Hugo Clarkin.

After a scoreless one minute and 51 seconds, USU got on the board as guard Brock Miller knocked down a jumper to make it 2-0 Aggies. The game was tied at 3-3 at 17:16, thanks to a three-point jumper from SJSU guard Sebastian Mendoza. But the Aggies stifled the Spartans’ starters and maintained a double-digit lead throughout the first half.

If there were any silver linings to the Spartans’ lackluster play, it would be Seneca Knight, Sebastian Mendoza, and Hugo Clarkin. All three of them contributed to the Spartan offense and kept the team to a manageable deficit. SJSU trailed USU 42-25 at the end of the half.

Sadly, the second half didn’t provide relief for the Spartans, who were outscored 43-27 before the final buzzer sounded. USU forward Justin Bean opened the scoring with a two-point tip shot just 26 seconds into the half. The Aggie offense continued to wreck havoc on the Spartans’ defenders, who missed a lot of shots and turnovers. SJSU guard Caleb Simmons wrapped up the scoring with a lone free throw, but it was too little, too late. The Spartans fell to the Aggies 85-52.

SJSU fell to 1-4, 0-2 Mountain West. Richard Washington led the Spartans with 11 points.

USU improved to 5-3, 2-0 Mountain West. Rollie Worster led the Aggies with 15 points.

The Spartans continue their conference slate with a game against the Boise State Broncos on December 31 at 5:30 pm PT.

Monday night the Stanford Cardinal were looking for a win to add to their three game winning streak as they took on the Bakersfield Roadrunners. The Cardinal are scoring an average of 74.3 points per game while the Roadrunners are close with an average of 72.8 points. Bakersfield expected to lean on Shaun William who is averaging 17 points a game while the Cardinals were looking to Oscar da Silva who comes into this game with a 20.3 average per game. They also have Dejon Davis and Ziaire Willams both double-digit scorers.

A predicted comfortable home victory came to be as the Cardinal dismissed the Roadrunners. The Cardinal are a legitimate Pac 12 contender and they lived up to that in this game. The Roadrunners struggle when they play above average teams and this game proved no different.

The final score was 63-50 as Stanford won both halves. The Cardinals dominated in the first half 30-22 and 33-28 in the second half, a more competitive half for the Roadrunners. Stanford got some nice points from Ziaire Williams with 17, Bryce Wills with 14 and Oscar da Silva with 10. It was a nice game for da Silva although it did break his three game stretch of scoring 20-plus points per game.

Midway through the first half the Cards took the lead for good and never looked back. It was a solid performance by the Stanford Cardinals extending their winning streak to four games.

The Cards are on a roll after beating the Arizona Wildcats Saturday night snapping a 20 game losing steak to the Wildcats in a wild 78-75 win. Stanford will be looking to extend their winning streak to five in their next game. The Cardinals will resume Pac-12 play on December 31 taking on Oregon State in Oregon.

San Jose State men’s basketball opened their 2020-21 conference slate with a road trip to Logan, Utah to take on the Utah State Aggies. The two-game series began on Monday night at 6 pm PT.

The Spartans’ starting five featured Omari Moore, Richard Washington, Seneca Knight, Chase Courtney, and Hugo Clarkin. Courtney made his first career start and grabbed three boards by the 15-minute mark of the first half. Even so, SJSU fell behind early, and suffered a brutal loss to USU 107-62.

The Aggies jumped out to an early 3-0 lead, but Richard Washington tied the game at 3-3 at 18:31. Omari Moore helped the Spartans take their first lead of the game, 4-3, with a free throw at 17:34.

USU wasn’t a force to be reckoned with. Rollie Worster knocked down a jumper to extend the Aggies’ lead to 11-4 at 15:15. SJSU appeared to be disoriented for a little bit as Chase Courtney missed a jumper and a layup, but managed to bounce back, thanks to Sebastian Mendoza and Richard Washington. Mendoza’s three-pointer jumper cut the Aggies’ lead to 23-11 at 10:29.

Seneca Knight made a layup and cut the Aggies’ lead in half, 32-16, with 5:56 left in the first half. However, USU continued to dominate offensively and defensively to maintain a double-digit lead. Marco Anthony had a dunk and Justin Bean grabbed a defensive rebound as the half came to an end. The Aggies took a 47-26 lead into the locker room.

The Aggies used a 19-0 run to open the second half and take complete control of the Spartans, USU took a 40-point lead, 66-26, at 15:01. Sebastian Mendoza knocked down a jumper to end the Aggies’ run at 14:51.

Sebastian Mendoza’s glimpses of tremendous talent weren’t enough to bring the Spartans back to life. The Aggies reached the century mark with 4:08 remaining as Zahar Vedischev knocked down a jumper to make it 101-55. Harminder Dhaliwal’s late jumpers and rebounds were gravity defying, but a lost cause, as the Spartans took a tough loss, 107-62, to the Aggies.

Richard Washington led the Spartans with 20 points. SJSU fell to 1-3, 0-1 Mountain West. USU improved to 4-3, 1-0 Mountain West.

The Spartans conclude their series against the Aggies on Wednesday, December 23 at 6 pm PT.

Stanford won its home-away-from-home Pac-12 men’s basketball contest 78-75 over Arizona on Saturday. The game was played in Santa Cruz at Kaiser Permanente Arena, the home of the Golden State Warriors’ G-League team – seating capacity of 2,500.

This was the first time a Wildcat team coached by Sean Miller ever lost to Stanford, snapping a 19-game Stanford losing streak to the U of A and a 20-game losing streak overall.

It was the Cardinal’s first win over Arizona since Jan. 4, 2009.

Arizona (5-1) lost despite an outstanding night for Jemarl Baker, who scored 29 points, including 8 of 13 3-pointers – seven of them in the second half.

Stanford (4-2) led 30-23 at halftime while holding the Wildcats to under 30 percent shooting. U of A cut the Cardinal’s lead to 41-40 on a three-point play by Azuolas Tubelis with 13:51 to play in the second half.

But Ziaire Williams with a three-point play and Jordan Brown canned a 3-pointer for Stanford to stop the U of A rally. A Noah Taitz 3-pointer put the Cardinal up 59-53 with eight minutes left.

Arizona pulled to within 68-66 on a 3 by Baker and an Ira Lee basket at the 4-minute mark. The Wildcats took a 69-68 lead on Baker’s sixth 3. Oscar da Silva made a pair of technical free throws after a foul by Christin Koloko.

Arizona regained the lead at 72-70 on Baker’s seventh trey before Spencer Jones hit a pair of 3s that gave Stanford a 76-72 lead. Baker’s eighth 3 made it 76-75.

An offensive foul and two missed free throws by Akinjo over the final seven seconds allowed Stanford to maintain its lead. Da Silva a pair of free throws in the final five seconds.

Da Silva led the Cardinal with 21 points.

The game was played in Santa Cruz due to a Santa Clara County health order prohibiting games or practices at all levels until Monday.

SANTA CRUZ, Calif. — San Jose State men’s basketball was scheduled to wrap up their non-conference slate versus the Santa Clara Broncos at the Kaiser Permanente Arena on Friday night.

Unfortunately, SJSU’s annual non-conference game versus Santa Clara was postponed due to an issue that prevented the Spartans’ COVID-19 tests from arriving in time for the tip-off.

The game was originally scheduled for 6 pm, and was pushed back to an 8 pm or 8:15 pm start before the unfortunate postponement. There are no plans for the Spartans to reschedule.

SJSU remains a lowly 1-2, while Santa Clara remains a perfect 6-0.

The Spartans kick off a conference slate against the Utah State Aggies on Monday, December 21 at 6 pm.

Cal Bears men basketball podcast with Michael Duca: Boston trip scratched out of precaution; Home games planned for the 19th and 22

Cal had lots to celebrate on Sun Dec 13th at Haas Pavilion with a three point buzzer beater from Makale Foreman to get a two point 72-70 win over the USF Dons at Haas Pavilion in Berkeley (calbears.com photo)

Cal Bears mens basketball podcast:

#1 The Cal MBB (3-4) trip to Boston College (1-5) has been canceled as a Cal statement said “out of an abundance of caution” neither school has registered any positive test for Covid 19. The game was scheduled for Dec 22 but now Cal will play a home game against Seattle University.

#2 Michael, Cal’s last game still a subject of discussion that incredible upset win over the USF Dons (5-3) I know you had a chance to see it when Makale Foreman took a three point shoot in the closing minute that won it for Cal.

#3 Taking a look at the game against USF did Cal head coach Mark Fox do somethings to tweak the offense and this is a team that didn’t panic but played up to the opponent and pretty much stayed with one of the best college teams.

#4 Cal has got some help from Grant Anticevich (18) and Matt Bradley (17) the Bears will certainly rely on them this season to provide offense and scoring.

#5 Cal has added two home games Dec 19 vs. CSUN and Dec 22 against Seattle University it has to be a relief for all involved that Cal doesn’t have to make that cross country to trip to Boston.
