San Francisco at San Jose State

San Francisco will be traveling to play after an eight-day layoff. San Jose State and San Francisco are fairly close talent-wise on the season with one big exception. San Jose has now regained the services of Adrien Oliver. Oliver had managed to be on the court just 18 minutes this season, but in his first full game he scored 27 in an 11 point win over Northern Colorado. Oliver transferred from Washington where he was expected to be a big-time player. That gives the Spartans a whole new look as they now have two big scorers, as he combines with Tim Pierce and his 18.4 ppg and 41% marksmanship from three. The Dons have a big scorer in Dior Lowhorn at 19.8 ppg, but the addition of Oliver gives the Spartans more firepower. Couple that with the Dons being off a layoff, heading on the road and they may be rusty out of the gate, so I'll back the Spartans in this one.
