Spartans Set to Invade Thomas & Mack Center Against UNLV Runnin' Rebels

As the San Jose State Spartans prepare to face off against the UNLV Runnin' Rebels at the Thomas & Mack Center, fans are eager to see if their team can continue their recent performance trends. The Spartans have shown a mixed bag of results in their past games, with a notable victory against Air Force where they exhibited an impressive 64 percent field goal percentage and a strong 71 percent two-point shooting accuracy. Their ability to convert from inside has been a key factor, as evidenced by scoring 44 points in the paint during that game.

However, consistency remains an issue for San Jose State. In their last outing against Boise State, they struggled with only a 33 percent field goal percentage and were outrebounded significantly, grabbing just 24 rebounds compared to Boise State's 39. This discrepancy was reflected in the final score as well, with the Spartans falling short by over thirty points.

Defensively, there is room for improvement too. The team managed only three blocks and five steals in that game but allowed Boise State to capitalize on second-chance points with fifteen compared to zero from San Jose State.

The upcoming game presents an opportunity for redemption and showcases how well they can adapt and overcome previous shortcomings. Fans should look out for improvements in rebounding on both ends of the court and better ball security after averaging double-digit turnovers in recent games.

The clash between San Jose State Spartans and UNLV Runnin' Rebels is scheduled for March 3rd at Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas. Fans can catch all the action live on CBS Sports Network (channel 221) at what will be an early morning tip-off due to time zone differences – set your alarms!
