San Jose State basketball starts conference play with loss

After a weekend tune-up game where San Jose State (7-6, 0-1 MW) walloped Bethesda, the Spartans faced conference peers Fresno State (11-4, 1-1 MW) Tuesday night.

The Spartans first Mountain West face-off of the season didn’t fare well with a 79–59 loss.

But the “buts” are why we’re here looking forward.

After a far less than stellar three-point shooting night, the Spartans had to force the issue by attacking the basket, which meant all of SJS’ points were hard fought.

All Bulldogs

The Bulldog’s 7-foot thoroughbred, Orlando Robinson, provided the big boy play that the Spartans simply could not match up to.
