In their last game against the Santa Clara Broncos, the Spartans emerged victorious with an 81-78 scoreline. Their offensive efficiency was on full display as they shot 50 percent from the field and an impressive 84 percent from the free-throw line. The team's ability to capitalize on turnovers was evident, scoring 23 points off turnovers with a high assist-to-turnover ratio of 3.0.


Despite facing a setback against Montana Grizzlies with a score of 75-86, it's worth noting that San Jose State maintained solid shooting percentages across the board – 45 percent from field goals and converting at a rate of 42 percent from beyond the arc. Their resilience in maintaining possession was highlighted by committing only five turnovers throughout the game.

The matchup against New Orleans Privateers showcased another strong performance by San Jose State as they secured an 87-82 win. Dominating in points in paint with a total of 48 and shooting over half of their field goals successfully demonstrates their ability to execute effectively inside.


With these trends in mind, fans can expect to see an assertive offense taking advantage of fast breaks and capitalizing on any mistakes made by Air Force Falcons. Defensively, maintaining pressure will be key to disrupting Falcons' gameplay while continuing to excel in rebounding could provide additional second-chance opportunities for San Jose State.
