wasn't due to a lack of effort."

opened a seven-of-eight home stand that will take
Fresno right up to Pacific Coast Athletic Association
The victory over SJS leaves Fresno with a 4-5 PCAA
record and 13-7 overall. The Bulldogs proved the Las
Vegas odds-makers genious with the 63-50 win. The
pre-game spread on the contest was 13 points. Frank
Martin's 30-foot prayer at the horn for San Jose
brought the Spartans to within 13.
The Bulldogs came out quickly to open the contest,
but once they built their lead, the 'Dogs slowed the
tempo down and SJS could not revive it. After the
pace slowed, the teams became rather sloppy with the
ball. The Bulldogs lost the ball on three straight trips
down the court before they scored. CSUF wound up
shooting 45.8 percent from the floor in the first half.
But Fresno took a 30-25 advantage to the lockers at
intermission.
Anderson had his problems finding the range (ooe-
for eight from the field) but Bradley did not. He pooped
four shots from the perimeter, no fewer than one of
which may have been a three point attempt, for eight
points. He also engineered Fresno's hounding defense,
which kept SJS honest by switching from man-to-man
to a tight zone all afternoon long.
Anderson eventually got untracked and ended up
with 15 points. The junior forward accounted for nine
points in a three-minute run that pulled the Bulldogs
away from the Spartans for good. An Anderson slam-
dunk and free throw gave CSUF a 41-29 lead with
15:20 to play in the game. Fresno never looked back.
About all Grant could have asked for was a little
more control on the fast break.
"We have been working hard to be better on the
break — trying to get down and take the shot," Grant
said. "But we need to make better judgments on the

since he broke into the SJS lineup two seasons ago,
scored 22 points and pulled down six rebounds. He
also blocked two shots, including one by Fresno's 6-10
freshman Mark Gustin.
"He's a lot stronger than he was last year, stronger
than I am," Thompson said. "I used my quickness to
get around him the majority of the time."
Thompson said McNeaiy was one of the tougher
players in the PCAA todeferki*ecause "he can post

continued, is to deny him the baD, pure and simple.
