FRESNO, Calif. (AP) --- Fresno State senior guard Cezar Guerrero scored 22 points, including a single-game career-high six 3-pointers, to help power the Bulldogs to a 78-71 wire-to-wire win over the San Francisco Dons on Thursday night at the Save Mart Center in game two of the 2015 Roundball Showcase.
Fresno State (3-0) opened with back-to-back Guerrero 3-pointers, grabbed an 8-0 early lead and never trailed against the Dons (2-1). The Bulldogs limited the Dons to 26.9 percent from the floor in the first half and handed USF its first loss of the year.
"We're still working hard on our identity and what we want to stand for from a defensive standpoint," Fresno State head coach Rodney Terry said. "Our home crowd has been really good for us, they've been great. We've had great support over the last three games here. Our band and student section have been great and they've been giving our team a lift."
Bulldogs' senior guard Marvelle Harris scored 16 points with six assists and three steals, and Cullen Russo added 11 points.
Devin Watson paced the Dons with a career-high 24 points with seven assists. Tim Derksen added 11 points with seven rebounds and four assists and Chase Foster added 10 points.
The Bulldogs shot 40 percent from the floor (24 of 60) and made 10 of 24 3-point shots. The last time a Fresno State player buried six 3-pointers in a game was Kevin Foster against UNLV in March 2013.
