THE BREAKDOWN
RETURNING TO THE COURT
When the Bulldogs hit the court on Jan. 13 in San Jose, the 'Dogs will have gone 12 days without a game, having last played on Dec. 31. Due to health and safety protocols, Fresno State has seen three games postponed (Jan. 3, 6, 9). Â
With seven players unavailable on Dec. 31 due to health and safety protocols, Fresno State played suited seven up for the team's last game of 2021. Against San Diego State, which saw the majority of its roster available and played 11, the Bulldogs walked away with a 73-67 win.
In the last eight seasons, Fresno State had not lost back-to-back games to start Mountain West play. The 'Dogs have dropped their conference opener three times, regrouping to tightly contested games on short turnarounds. That trend continued to open conference play this year. A loss in the 2021-22 MW opener to UNLV led a six-point win over San Diego State three days later.

THE BREAKDOWN

- It will be the first of two games in three days against the Spartans as SJSU was already set to visit the Central Valley on Jan. 15.
- Fresno State and San Jose State have not met since the Bulldogs' 94-68 semifinal win in 2020.

- Cavinder leads all active Division I point guards in career rebounds with 566, doing so in 73 games.
RETURNING TO THE COURT
When the Bulldogs hit the court on Jan. 13 in San Jose, the 'Dogs will have gone 12 days without a game, having last played on Dec. 31. Due to health and safety protocols, Fresno State has seen three games postponed (Jan. 3, 6, 9). Â
- The Bulldogs also had a fourth game, their original game on Jan. 13 postponed (vs. Nevada) but rescheduled its first postponement of the season with San Jose State in its place.
- The 12-day layoff is Fresno State's longest of the season.
With seven players unavailable on Dec. 31 due to health and safety protocols, Fresno State played suited seven up for the team's last game of 2021. Against San Diego State, which saw the majority of its roster available and played 11, the Bulldogs walked away with a 73-67 win.
- Grabbing their first lead with less than 90 seconds in the second quarter, the Bulldogs led for nearly all of the second half.

In the last eight seasons, Fresno State had not lost back-to-back games to start Mountain West play. The 'Dogs have dropped their conference opener three times, regrouping to tightly contested games on short turnarounds. That trend continued to open conference play this year.

- The 'Dogs defeated Nevada in 2015 by one and Air Force in 2017 by six on two days rest, and Colorado State in 2020 by four on less than 24 hours rest. The first two came on the road while the win over CSU was at home.
