What to Know

The San Jose State Spartans have been on the wrong side of a one-way rivalry with the Utah State Aggies and are hoping to record their first win since Feb. 28 of 2018. SJSU and Utah State will face off in a Mountain West battle at 11 p.m. ET on Friday at Provident Credit Union Event Center. Neither of those teams managed to put together many points in their previous contests, so their meeting could be a low-scoring affair.

The Spartans were close but no cigar on Tuesday as they fell 58-54 to the Air Force Falcons. Guard Omari Moore had a pretty forgettable game, picking up four fouls and turning the ball over eight times en route to a 14-point finish.

Meanwhile, the matchup between Utah State and the Colorado State Rams on Saturday was not a total blowout, but with Utah State falling 66-55 at home, it was darn close to turning into one. Utah State got double-digit scores from four players: guard RJ Eytle-Rock (14), guard Steven Ashworth (11), forward Brandon Horvath (11), and forward Justin Bean (10).

SJSU is now 8-21 while the Aggies sit at 16-14. A couple stats to keep an eye on: The Spartans have allowed their opponents to shoot 46.60% from the floor on average, which is the 15th highest shooting percentage allowed in college basketball. Utah State's offense has more to brag about, as they they rank 23rd in college basketball when it comes to field goal percentage, with 47.90% on the season. So the cards are definitely stacked in their favor.
