Unstoppable at 7,000 Feet: How Myers’ Relentless Runs Shocked the Spartans to Their First Road Victory
But Colby Garland then “woke up,” finishing with 23 points and a perfect 10-for-10 from the free-throw line. His calm at the stripe, especially in the final seconds, proved decisive.
With eight minutes left, the Spartans authored the stretch that defined the night; hitting six of seven shots to push the lead to double digits.
Myers’ sixth, seventh and then eighth three-pointers punctuated the surge, stretching the margin to as many as 12 .
And yet, even statistically, the Spartans were outmatched in key areas.
Air Force outscored SJSU 42-26 in the paint and shot a slightly better overall percentage (50.9% to 49.1%). The Falcons also won the rebounding battle 32-31.
