Can San Jose State Spartans Rebound at Provident Credit Union Event Center?

As the San Jose State Spartans gear up to host the Colorado State Rams at the Provident Credit Union Event Center, fans are eager to see if their team can bounce back from recent setbacks. The upcoming clash on their home court presents an opportunity for redemption after a series of challenging games.

The Spartans have been struggling with consistency, as evidenced by their last three performances. In their most recent game against Fresno State Bulldogs, they suffered a defeat with a significant margin, scoring 59 points to the Bulldogs' 74. Turnovers were a glaring issue; they gave up possession 23 times and had an assists-turnover ratio of less than half (0.43). Despite shooting well from the free-throw line (92 percent), it wasn't enough to secure victory.

Prior to that, in Albuquerque against New Mexico Lobos, turnovers continued to plague them with 19 lost possessions and only nine points off those turnovers. They did manage an even assists-turnover ratio (1.0) but fell short in overall scoring, tallying just 51 points against the Lobos' 72.

However, there's a glimmer of hope looking back at their home game versus San Diego State Aztecs where they narrowly missed out on victory by one point (62-63). The team showed resilience despite another high turnover count (25), but they demonstrated better control inside with more offensive rebounds and second-chance points than in subsequent games.

The venue could play into the Spartans' favor as they return home where they've shown competitive spirit and tenacity before their own crowd. With improved ball handling and capitalizing on scoring opportunities off turnovers, there's potential for them to turn things around.

Fans can catch this pivotal match-up scheduled for March 2nd at 2:00 PM Pacific Time at Provident Credit Union Event Center or tune in from home as both teams vie for dominance on court.
