#1 On Tuesday night, the San Jose Sharks (10-6-3) won it on Joe Thornton’s 400th career goal.

San Jose State podcast with Ana Kieu: Both football and men’s basketball teams lost to Utah-based teams last Saturday

On the San Jose State podcast with Ana:

1. It’s time for some football. San Jose State took an early lead and put on somewhat of a show in Logan, Utah last Saturday, but suffered a brutal 62-24 loss to the Utah State Aggies. The Aggies were ranked #14/#16 at the time, but now they’re ranked #23. Are the Aggies the real deal or are the Spartans just really bad?

2. It’s time to talk men’s basketball. San Jose State dropped a heartbreaker to Southern Utah 66-59 inside the Event Center last Saturday. I know you predicted the Spartans would win 10 games under second-year head coach Jean Prioleau, but have your thoughts changed? Also, what do the Spartans need to do in order to get a win over the Weber State Wildcats in the Bahamas on Thursday?

3. Let’s take a look at a bright spot in San Jose State Athletics. In women’s soccer, San Jose State made it all the way to the NCAA Tournament, but got shutout by the UCLA Bruins in L.A. last Friday. Not the result the girls had hoped for, but they should be proud of themselves nevertheless.

On the Headline Sports podcast with London:

#1 Are the Golden State Warriors finally melting down after years of success and starting to soften their foundation after Draymond Green got into a jawing match with team superstar Kevin Durant in Golden State’s loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday night?

#2 The Warriors had lost two of their last three before Tuesday night. Green sat out Tuesday night’s game against Atlanta for misconduct and will lose $120,480 pay.

#3 Has this team that has been so successful for at least the last four years start to show cracks? Green has been noted as the most vocal on the team.

#4 Durant, Klay Thompson, and DeMarcus Cousins are scheduled to be free agents next season even with their success. Can these players be leaving and will the Durant-Green argument be a distraction for Golden State?

#5 They were arguing and dissension was on the sidelines on Monday night amongst them Green with Durant, Green with DeMarcus Cousins. Does Green need to sit down and shut up?
