The game was marked by several lead changes, totaling 14 throughout the contest, and was tied five times indicating a closely fought battle on the court. The San Jose State Spartans showcased their sharpshooting from beyond the arc with an impressive three-point shooting percentage of 42 percent, converting 11 out of their 26 attempts.


Despite their efforts from long range, it wasn't enough to overcome the Grizzlies' offensive output. The visitors capitalized on their two-point attempts with a high conversion rate of 60 percent making 21 out of 35 shots inside the arc. They also excelled at free throws with an accuracy rate of approximately 85 percent by sinking 23 out of their total free throw attempts.


The defensive efforts were notable as well; however, they differed in execution between teams. The San Jose State Spartans managed to accumulate seven steals over the course of play but were only able to block one shot compared to two blocks by Montana's defense.


On top of that, rebounding played a significant role in this encounter. The Grizzlies dominated on both ends securing a total rebound count of 44 compared to just half that number for San Jose State at only twenty-four rebounds which included eighteen defensive boards and six offensive ones for second-chance opportunities.


Assists were evenly distributed among both teams with each recording sixteen assists showing good ball movement and teamwork during play execution. However, personal fouls told another story; while Montana committed twelve fouls throughout the game, San Jose State players found themselves in more foul trouble accumulating twenty personal fouls.


Looking ahead after this hard-fought game for Spartan fans is another opportunity for redemption as they prepare to host Santa Clara Broncos at Provident Credit Union Event Center once again on December 20th at around seven o'clock in evening local time (Pacific Time).
