Call it pent up frustrations or taking what the defense gives you. Either way, Air Force (12-9, 3-5 MW) was on the wrong end of the stick, as San Jose State (13-8, 4-4 MW) pummeled the Falcons in a 82-52 home win.
“They just wanted to win after losing a couple of tough ones in a row in very difficult environments,” said SJS head coach Tim Miles. “They want to see that growth and they’re capable of it and that’s what you saw tonight - that determination.”
To beat a potent Air Force team, a Spartans’ swarming defense held the Falcons to 39% from the field, while SJS shot 58% led by Omari Moore’s 26 points; his seventh 20+ point outing this season, where Moore tallied 19 in the first-half alone.
