MOUNTAIN WEST PLAY STARTS WEDNESDAY: San José State opens the Mountain West portion of the schedule with a road game this Wednesday at Wyoming. This is the only meeting between the two teams this season. With the unbalanced conference schedule, SJSU will play Wyoming (away) and UNLV (home) one time, and the other schools twice.
San José State is looking to break two streaks this week - a road losing streak dating back to last season and a conference losing streak also dating back to last year. The Spartans are also looking for their first win in Laramie since the 2015-16 season. That year, SJSU won, 67-66, on January 13, 2016, as Dezz Ramos hit a three with 1.1 seconds remaining to propel the Spartans to victory. The Spartans have lost seven straight in Laramie since this game. San José State also has a 15-game losing streak to Wyoming.
ABOUT WYOMING: The Cowgirls enter Wednesday night’s game with a 3-6 overall record after falling at Minnesota, 80-34, Sunday night. The team’s wins have come against Long Beach State (72-39), Chadron State (75-38) and South Dakota (66-59). Head coach Heather Ezell is in her fourth season at the helm of the program with a 68-44 record.
