The San Jose State Spartans faced a challenging contest against the Nevada Wolf Pack, culminating in a 65-82 scoreline. The Spartans now stand with their record affected by another loss, while the Wolf Pack added another victory to their tally. Despite a strong start in the first quarter with 19 points, the Spartans could not sustain their momentum against the home team's robust performance.

The game at Lawlor Events Center saw an intense battle where both teams fought hard to dominate each quarter. The San Jose State Spartans opened confidently, outscoring the Nevada Wolf Pack by two points in the initial quarter. However, as play progressed, it became evident that maintaining this lead would be an uphill task for them. The second quarter witnessed a dip in form for SJSU as they managed only 15 points compared to NEV's impressive 26-point haul.

SJSU's offensive efforts were led by their commendable field goal percentage of 52 percent and an even more impressive two-point shooting at 63 percent accuracy. They also excelled at free throws with a success rate of 78 percent but struggled from beyond the arc with just eight three-pointers made from twenty-one attempts (38 percent). Despite these efforts, turnovers proved costly for SJSU as they gave up possession twenty times throughout the game.

On defense, SJSU managed only one block and three steals compared to NEV's four blocks and twelve steals which contributed significantly to their downfall. Additionally, SJSU was outrebounded by NEV who grabbed twenty-seven rebounds over SJSU’s twenty-three.

The Nevada Wolf Pack capitalized on turnovers scoring seventeen points off them and showed superior ball movement resulting in twenty assists. Their players also had better control over personal fouls committing eleven compared to fifteen by SJSU players.

In terms of individual performances for SJSU, there were bright spots despite the loss; contributions came across all fronts including thirty points scored inside paint reflecting aggressive play under basket but it wasn't enough against a well-rounded NEV team effort that saw them make fifty-seven percent of their three-point shots.
