Saturday: one game report & four previews

Utah State did just enough and bewhiskered San Jose State University last night 66-60, powered by the hirsute one, Preston Medlin who scored a season high 25 points and passed for five assists. Spencer Butterfield went for 13 points while Kyisean Reed and Jarred Shaw totaled 12 apiece. Reed also grabbed eight rebounds, blocked four shots and passed for a pair of assists while Shaw's 10 boards earned him a double-double.  

D.J. Brown led the Spartans with 16 points, four rebounds and two assists. Forward Chris Cunningham posted 15 points, eight boards and four assists and backcourter Xavier Jones added 14. James Kinney and Louis Garrett did not play due to team rules violations. USU shot 48% to 36% for SJSU which enjoyed a 20 shot advantage.

For the same reason, Kinney also missed the James Madison road game that the Spartan lost 77-68 -- not exactly an exhibition of senior leadership.

That's because the Aggies, though undefeated at 4-0, are looking vulnerable a la the any-given-night scenario. The Spartans stand at 3-1 and could establish sincere credibility for this season with a USU Logan takedown. It's also "Beard Out" night.

Westwind Prep posted a pair of WAC-connected tweets.

Texas San Antonio is also all over Lewis, including extending an offer as Inside Runner Sports reported back in August.

Then: "SJS also interested in local Bay Area big man 6'10" Miles Martin at WPA National"

Here's a February 2012 report on Lewis as a senior in high school. 

As for Martin, Anthony Ray/Arizona Preps wrote this some time back:

Miles Martin is a native of Cupertino, California, where he attended Homestead High School last season. While Martin is also a developing post prospect as well, he is much further along offensively than Okonkwo, but not as athletic. Martin is a good-sized post presence with a nice frame already, but still developing low post skills. He has a soft touch from mid-range and has solid footwork, but still is improving his ability to make plays inside and finish strong around the rim. He simply needs touches of the basketball and continued low post skillwork to develop as a post prospect for the collegiate level. Martin is a solid rebounder but needs to become quicker off his feet to see improvement in this area of his game. He runs the floor well for his size, but needs to be more athletic to become much more effective against top-rated low post prospects.

Martin’s best attribute currently is his sheer size. He also has some upside as a player, and has worked hard this fall to become much stronger physically and to tone up his large frame. This season spent at Westwind will also serve him a great deal as he works hard to improve his approach to the game. Currently, Martin is a low to mid-major division-I prospect that will see his share of much higher recruitment as a result of his size as a post prospect.

Quick, who is the best basketball player out of the Cowboys basketball program? Answer: Joe Dumars.

By the way, Dumars' father was a truck driver and his mother a college custodian. Joe became a first-round NBA pick, an NBA champion with the Pistons and eventually the general manager for Detroit. College in Lake Charles, then professional life all in The Motor City -- a very unusual life in play-for-pay sports world. Overall, what an achievement for Dumars.

The Mailman is easily the best NBA-er coming out of Ruston. But can a case be made that Paul Millsap, at least collegiately, was equal to Karl Malone?

Tuesday: one game report, a game preview, plus a bit more

Seattle went on the road to face Eastern Washington and triumphed 75-69. Forward Clarence Trent almost reached a double-double with 11 points and nine rebounds while fellow frontcourter Chad Rasmussen led with 16 points on four treys. The Redhawks shot 50%, EW 37%.

Southern Mississippi was in Las Cruces and thoughts of nabbing a victory hit a big roadblock to the tune of 68-60 primarily because of freshman Sim Bhullar's 17 points, seven boards and pair of blocks.

Texas San Antonio rode into Merle Haggard country but without the services of backcourter Michael Hale III due to injury.

Questions

Can we all agree that Utah State's Jarred Shaw is the shoe-in for Newcomer of the year in the WAC?

+++++

With Denver often not starting anyone taller than 6-foot-6, can the Pioneers thrive in the WAC? Joe Scott's bunch is being out-shot a last-in-the-league 47% to 38% overall plus 37% to 30% from long distance and is -7 per game in rebounding.

+++++

Did anyone foresee a 6-1, top-of-the-league start for Louisiana Tech?

Granted 72-44 over Arkansas-Monticello and 66-55 versus Arkansas Southern were expected outcomes as exhibitions as was a 71-59 road loss to Texas A&M.

Winning at home against against Arkansas Little Rock 70-52 certainly wasn't an upset but the ensuing three games and wins in three days versus Troy 70-46, Southeast Missouri State 67-63 and Chattanooga 71-63 was not expected, even if two were neutral game matches.

Back home, the Bulldogs topped Louisiana Monroe 68-52 to reach 6-1.

Agreed, this hasn't been a Murderer's Row of opponents but do keep in mind that Coach Mike White is starting two sophomores in the backcourt, plus a sophomore in the middle surrounded by a junior and a senior.

PTW doesn't recall this forecast: San Jose State University shooting a league-leading 40% from long distance.
