Friday's WAC roundup

The Good Ship Aggie righted itself with a Thursday night 77-63 victory over Louisiana Tech. Preston Medlin totaled 22 points, followed by Kyisean Reed's 20, plus Brockeith Pane contributed six assists versus nary a turnover. Raheem Appleby and Brandon Gibson each scored 15 points for the Bulldogs but LT shot 40% overall to 56% for USU as almost half the shots attempted by the Ruston-ites were three-pointers.

It took two overtimes with Fresno State ready to ask for volunteers as two semi-bigs fouled out (Jerry Brown and Kevin Foster) but host San Jose State got off the WAC schneid and triumphed 79-71. Wil Carter was unstoppable all night, scoring 23 points and grabbing 12 rebounds. Kevin Olekaibe led the Bulldogs with 21 points but needed 20 shots to do so and didn't get many good looks. FSU shot just 35% while SJSU ended the game at 48%.

Robert Kuwada was in San Jose and serves up his take.

The Nevada - Hawaii pairing was expected to be a good, close one and the Rainbow Warriors led by three, 39-36, at the half. But the Wolf Pack came on, owning the boards, for an 88-79 win.

Chris Murray was a-twitterin' as was Brian McInnis.

Idaho welcomed New Mexico State and it was 31-up after 20 minutes. The Vandals topped the Aggies by one in the second half, winning 59-58 on Djim Bandoumel's basket with five seconds showing on the clock.

Josh Wright was operating his Tweet-mobile and must have been tag-teaming with Sam Wasson.

Kyle Barone posted an impressive, well-rounded line of 16 points, right rebounds, four assists and a pair of blocks. Wendell McKines and Hamidu Rahman each scored 12 for the Aggies, who allowed Idaho to shoot 50%.
