The Spartans have shown a commendable performance in their past games, with two wins and one loss that came down to a high-scoring affair.
In their most recent game against Santa Clara Broncos, the Spartans edged out a victory with 81 points to 78, showcasing an impressive offensive display. Their field goal percentage stood at 50 percent and they were particularly effective from the free-throw line, hitting 84 percent of their shots.
