Vandals fall to Spartans

Associated Press The Spokesman-Review

SAN JOSE, Calif. – Spencer Carlton scored a season-high 26 points, including a key 3-pointer down the stretch, and San Jose State defeated Idaho in men’s basketball 62-57 on Saturday.

Menelink Barbary added 12 points and 10 rebounds as the Spartans (5-24, 4-12 WAC) ended a five-game losing streak. Julian Richardson made both of his free throws with 3.6 seconds left to seal the victory. Jamon Hill scored 11 points.

Keoni Watson scored 14 points to lead the Vandals (3-26, 1-15), who are suffering their worst season in school history and will carry a 12-game losing streak into next week’s WAC tournament at New Mexico State.

The teams will play each other again at 6:30 (PST) Tuesday in the conference tournament play-in game at New Mexico State. The winner plays top-seeded and 10th-ranked Nevada in Thursday’s quarterfinals.
