Thursday night games and scores

Yikes! We thought Fresno State was a solidifying club on the uptick but 69-43 versus Utah State in the San Joaquin? Granted, Paul George played just seven minutes due to spraining an ankle but...

The Aggies' Brian Green nailed five treys (in seven attempts) to lead with 17 points. Utah State shot 48% overall and 57% from long distance. The Bulldogs managed just 28% shooting for the game and 4-17 from three-point land. Sylvester Seay made one basket in 12 attempts and Mychal Ladd misfired on all five of his three-point shots.

+++++

Host San Jose State played a complete game and took down league-leading Louisiana Tech 87-76 behind Adrian Oliver's 39 points (12-19 shooting, 12-12 at the foul line, 3-5 from long distance).

Bulldog Kyle Gibson totaled 22 points, 20 of those in the second half.

SJSU shot 60% from the floor, 7-15 on treys and 24-28 from the foul line. In contrast, LT shot 45% but had just 12 free throws, making eight. Coach Kerry Rupp's squad went 10-22 from downtown with Gibson leading the way at 4-8.

Olu Ashaolu just missed a double-double with 19 points and eight boards.

Foul trouble plagued Gibson (who collected #5 late in the game) and also Magnum Rolle, allowing the pair to be on the court for just 24 and 28 minutes respectively.

C.J. Webster missed the game for SJSU with an eye injury.
