Friday's WAC roundball report

New Mexico State went into San Jose and Hamidu Rahman must have really liked the weather or the cheerleaders or the sense of tech permeating the air ... something, because he shot 7-7, totaling 18 points at the half and the Aggies led 41-26. It finished at 79-63 and Rahman with 20. Wendell McKines led with 24 points as both he and Rahman grabbed eight boards. Keith Shamburger's 19 paced SJSU. The Aggies shot 51% for the game and won the boards battle 39-25.

Spartan athletics has the details.

Utah State met host Seattle and the Redhawks led 22-9 at the 12-minute mark, 30-20 with four minutes remaining in the initial 20 and 34-27 at halftime. It ended 73-66 in favor of the Washington-ers, who shot 53% overall, 57% on 14 trey attempts. Seattle also won the rebounding battle 32-21. Brockeith Pane led the Aggies with 20 points and Preston Medlin was right behind with 19, although the latter went 2-10 on threes.

USU beat Seattle 78-53 in Logan back on December 17.

Shawn Harrison was in the Emerald City (more kudos to the management of the Herald Journal) and has the details. Heck, both Seattle newspapers used AP game accounts so Shawn being there was even more important. Matt Sonnenberg also checks in.

+++++

From Ruston to Honolulu sounds like the title of an interesting book but it's what Louisiana Tech did and it proved worthwhile as the Bulldogs beat the Warriors 74-70 behind 28 points from Raheem Appleby. Jeremiah Ostrowski and Zane Johnson were absent due to injury for UH.

Dayton Morinaga was present and accounted for with a lengthy read.

Chris Murray has a 'Pack notes' column posted.

No games tonight but every team is back in league action on Saturday.
