As San Jose State men’s basketball (21-14, 10-8 MW) made strident steps out of mediocrity this season with a series of notable firsts:
- First Mountain West conference tournament win
- First post-season win
- First MW Player-of-the-Year in Omari Moore
- First combination of player and coach-of-the-year with second-year head coach Tim Miles
- Most wins since 1980
The Spartans closed out their historic season Monday afternoon in Daytona, Florida in a 67-57 quarter-final loss to a stout Radford Highlander team (21-14) from Virginia.
The Big South Conference representative overcame the Spartans with basic basketball ingredients that defied its 10th seed in the College Basketball Invitational (CBI) over second-seeded SJS.
