Fresno State will be minus its starting point for the fall semester -- Daniel Lyght has the details here. Yes, Steve Shepp has his weaknesses (which players in the WAC don't?) but now having to rely upon a freshman who was a scorer in the prep ranks and a newcomer from a junior college is never what a coach draws up in his master plan.

Jeff Faraudo of the Oakland Tribune offers this on San Jose State in his Bay Area college basketball preview:
Catching up: The Spartans, who lost nine of their final 11 games a year ago, will be smaller but deeper, more athletic and more versatile, according to coach George Nessman. "We definitely feel it's the best team we've had," he said.
It starts with Oliver, who has scored at least 30 points in 10 of his 49 games with the Spartans. "He received an inordinate amount of defensive attention, so we have to make it a little simpler for him to score," Nessman said. "The biggest piece for him is really feeling comfortable as a leader of a team."
