San Jose State
Wednesday, November 27th. Portland, Oregon.
Last Season: 9-20 (3-13 WAC).
The Pilots will welcome to the Chiles Center the San Jose State Spartans, who are fresh off a disappointing season. The Spartans finished 9-20 last season, and subsequently fired their head coach, George Nessman. Now with Dave Wojick at the helm, San Jose State is hoping that its fortunes will change as it moves up to the Mountain West Conference. The Spartans will ride on the coattails of senior forward and former Santa Clara Bronco Chris Cunningham, who averaged 10.7 points per game last season.
