Spartans in a 79-37 romp

Will they or won't they?

That was the most captivating question of the night and in this context: would Cal Maritime make it to double figures by halftime?

The Keelhaulers did, chalking up 12 points by the conclusion of the initial 20 minutes of play.

San Jose State had 39 points.

The final score was 79-37.

Cal Maritime could have sent out a starting unit of John Paul Jones, Bull Halsey, Bluebeard, Blackbeard and Jack Sparrow and it wouldn't have mattered. But the Keelhaulers played hard and ran their sets -- it was a case of just way too much athleticism to overcome.

The best part was that nobody got hurt. That and seeing Garrett Ton, Jerelle Wilson and newcomer John Williams take to the court, with each scoring at least a basket. C.J. Webster was in uniform but didn't participate.
