What to Know

The San Jose State Spartans are 0-12 against the Colorado State Rams since January of 2016, but they'll have a chance to close the gap a little bit Saturday. SJSU and Colorado State will face off in a Mountain West battle at 6 p.m. ET at Provident Credit Union Event Center. The Rams should still be riding high after a win, while the Spartans will be looking to right the ship.

SJSU has to be aching after a bruising 79-59 defeat to the Fresno State Bulldogs on Tuesday. The top scorer for SJSU was forward Trey Anderson (18 points).

Meanwhile, Colorado State didn't have too much breathing room in their game with the Utah State Aggies on Wednesday, but they still walked away with a 77-72 victory. Forward David Roddy and guard Isaiah Stevens were among the main playmakers for Colorado State as the former had 24 points in addition to six rebounds and the latter had 22 points.

The Spartans are the clear underdogs, so they're hoping it's the size of the fight that determines this one. Those burned by picking them against the spread on Tuesday might want to keep in mind that the team has not yet dropped back-to-back games against the spread this season.

SJSU is now 7-6 while the Rams sit at 12-1. A couple stats to keep an eye on: SJSU is 19th worst in college basketball in takeaways, with only 10.8 on average. To make matters even worse for SJSU, Colorado State ranks 23rd in college basketball when it comes to turnovers per game, with only 10.5 on average. So the cards are definitely stacked in Colorado State's favor.
