Sunday's posting of Saturday's WAC results

It was 31-29 Utah State at the half down in Ruston but then the Aggies went on a 12-2 run and eventually closed out a 69-65 victory over Louisiana Tech. Brockeith Pane exploded for 24 points on eight baskets plus eight free throws. Kenyon McNeaill went 5-6 from three-point range and led the Bulldogs with 19. Tony Jones was a-tweeting.

Shawn Harrison and Tony Jones were on press row (a salute again to the managements of their respective newspapers) and Matt Sonnenberg also provides a lengthy writeup and analysis. Tony also blogged about Brockeith Pane and then Morgan Grim.

Idaho also led by two points, 31-39, after 20 minutes in Las Cruces but eventually fell 80-68 to the Aggies. Wendell McKines enjoyed a 23/10 double-double (8-12 shooting) and Hernst Laroche totaled 20 points. Freshman Conner Hill paced the Vandals with 12 points, going 3-5 from long distance. Sounding like a broken record (when will that out-of-date phrase be deep-sixed?) Kyle Barone put up but seven shots in 32 minutes. New Mexico State shot 59% overall, out-boarded Idaho 36-20 and was whistled for just 14 fouls. Jason Groves tweeted away.

Jason and Sam Wasson offer game reports and Teddy Feinberg also took in the matchup. Jason has posted a four minute video providing his analysis of the contest.

Continuing with the theme, host Nevada was one point better, 35-34, at halftime than Hawaii. But Dario Hunt became foul-saddled (ending up with four while Devonte Elliott fouled out) and Vander Joaquim began pounding away inside. UH went up by seven before the Wolf Pack turned the tide (even if Reno isn't a seaport) and surged ahead near the end to win 77-74. Joaquim finished with 22 points and seven blocks and Joston Thomas was right behind with 22. Deonte Burton's 25  topped Nevada and Olek Czyz (11-14 shooting) produced a 24/11 double-double. Chris Murray tweeted the contest as did Brian McInnis.

Dayton Morinaga provides print, photos and video. Jeff Portnoy is a believer. Chris Murray has the game report plus a bevy of photos taken by Julie Dawes. Chris also serves up a 'notes' column.

Both host Fresno State and opponent San Jose State went into their matchup looking for an initial conference win. The Bulldogs had the largest WAC contest lead of the night after 20 minutes -- that being 38-31 -- before winning 82-73 by KO.

Yes, Kevin Olekaibe went off for 32 points, buttressed by going 6-11 from long distance. A newly healthy Kevin Foster produced his first double-double, 19 points plus 14 rebounds. Spartan Wil Carter posted his own 20/13 double-double. Coach Rodney Terry's squad notched an amazing 21 assists on 24 baskets.

Robert Kuwada has the details, which included a couple of MMA moments.
