The prettiest thing of the night was Sam Bittner’s buzzer beater to put the ‘Dogs up by four.
Besides that, It’s a good thing it was a small crowd, because it wasn’t pretty. But the Fresno State Bulldogs (21-9 11-6 MWC) pulled off the win in Colorado on Monday night against the Air Force Falcons. (11-17, 5-11 MWC) The victory locked up a first round bye in the Mountain West Tournament, slated to begin next Wednesday, March 7.
But if the ‘Dogs want a chance, they’re going to have to change. A lot.
With Jaron Hopkins out for the season, Fresno State shot 34% from the floor (fifteen points down from their season average of 49%) and only managed to sink 7 shots in the first half, with the score at the half being only 23-19.
