SJSU LETS NEVADA SQUEAK BY, 60-57
A few turnovers and missed opportunities during crunch time kept the Spartans from winning their first game in MW play this season in a tight, 60-57, loss to Nevada on February 7. SJSU hit 16 of their first 20 free throws in the game, but missed four in the final minute of the game. San José State hung around in the first half despite the Wolf Pack having more offensive rebounds (14) than total rebounds for the Spartans (11). Darryl Gaynor II had a season-high 25 points to lead the Spartans. AJ West scored 17 points and grabbed 15 rebounds in only 23 minutes to Nevada.
GAYNOR DROPS SEASON-HIGH 25 ON NEVADA
Freshman guard Darryl Gaynor II had his best game of the season against Nevada with a season-high 25 points on 7-of-14 shooting. He was a perfect 9-of-9 from the free throw line and achieved another season-best with seven rebounds. Gaynor has led the way scoring in five games this season.
Brandon Mitchell A TOP-10 REBOUNDER IN MW PLAY
Sophomore forward Brandon Mitchell is in the top-10 for his 6.2 rebounds per game during MW play and his 2.1 offensive rebounds per MW game ranks sixth among all players in the conference.
A SOPHOMORE IS CLIMBING THE ALL-TIME RANKS
Sophomore guard Rashad Muhammad has made 115 threes in his young career as a Spartan. The mark ranks him eighth among SJSU's career-leaders for made threes. He is eight threes from jumping up into the top-five. Tim Pierce (2007-09) tops San José State's all-time list with 153 cashed three-point shots.
MUHAMMAD CONTINUES TO FIND DOUBLE-FIGURES
Rashad Muhammad has finished 12 of his last 13 games in double-figures scoring and is averaging 14.7 points per contest during that stretch. His season-high 26 points came on the road at Air Force on January 10. He's reached double-figures a total of 15 times in 20 games played this year.
SPARTANS TAKE COWBOYS DOWN TO THE WIRE IN LAST MEETING
