Unstoppable at 7,000 Feet: How Myers’ Relentless Runs Shocked the Spartans to Their First Road Victory

There are nights when a season bends, if only slightly, toward belief regardless if the other team has had its own struggles.

Tuesday night in Colorado Springs against Air Force was one of those bends.

San Jose State (8-20, 3-14 MW) walked into Clune Arena and walked out with its first road victory of the year; an 86-80 decision built on shot-making, resilience and the exploits of red shirt sophomore Adrian Myers .

Myers was doing it all from the opening tip.

Eighteen first-half points set the tone, and his career-high 34, the most by a Spartan this season, came on a blistering 11-of-18 shooting, including 8-of-9 from three-point range.

At altitude, against a Falcon team that has struggled to shoot much of the year but found a first-half rhythm, Myers’ poise never wavered.

Air Force’s Lucas Hobin was unconscious early, 5-of-8 from beyond the arc in the first-half alone, some from near half-court range, helping the Falcons surge ahead 11-2 in the opening minutes.
