So physical at times some thought they had stumbled into a mixed martial arts event plus with more starts and stops than a beater sporting a sand clogged fuel injecter, the matchup between San Jose State and Seattle concluded minus any tap outs but an 86-70 Spartan victory.
It was the fourth road success so far this season for SJSU, now 7-3.
Justin Graham and Keith Shamburger paced the Spartan point production with 24 and 22 points apiece. Adrian Oliver, Wil Carter and Chris Jones added 13, 12 and 12 respectively. Oliver struggled with his shot all evening going 3-13.
Some basketball games are ballet, or at least offer stretches of such -- not this one. Best described as a grinder, still SJSU had this one in the books early on in the second half even though the Redhawks never lowered their intensity.
Frontcourter Alex Jones, battling foul trouble primarily caused by his illegal movement on screens, led Seattle with 21 points. On recollection, none of his fouls were as a result of him defending his matchup.
At the half, it was 45-34 San Jose State, behind 17 points from Graham. The Redhawks hung tough on the scoreboard for a while but San Jose State kept adding to its lead.

Seattle wins it at the end 90-88
The Redhawks were ready for a clipping, seemingly asking for it.
But San Jose State let Seattle remain within reach and Cameron Dollar's squad eventually used a three-pointer by Taylor Olson from the right corner to capture the win 90-88.
Olson came into the contest just 13-44 from long distance but he got a comfortable, open look and buried it with just less than six seconds remaining.
Adrian Oliver, taking up residence at the foul line, scored 35 points, including 17-18 from the charity stripe. The Spartans were 30-36 as a team on free throws. Robert Owens totaled 20 points and Mac Peterson contributed 18 on the evening.
SJSU shot 52% overall to 51.5% for Seattle but the Hawks garnered 18 more attempts than the Spartans. Dollar's team owned the boards, concluding with a 37-24 advantage that included 18 at the offensive end.
Heralded Charles Garcia 'enjoyed' a much ado about nothing first half with just three points but he totaled 17 in the second 20 minutes for Seattle. Forward Alex Jones came into the game averaging just over eight a contest and finished with 17 points in 19 minutes of action. 5-foot-10 point Cervante Burrell added 14 and also tied for the team lead in rebounding with five.
The score was 84-79 when an Owens three-pointer from the left corner reduced the deficit to two. At the 2:10 mark, a pair of free throws by Oliver knotted the score.
Garcia was fouled with 1:45 remaining and he made one of two foul shots to put the Redhawks ahead by one.
With 1:29 on the clock, Oliver was fouled and connected on both attempts to boost San Jose State in the lead 86-85.
Burrell missed an awkward-looking, shotput-like jumper with 59 seconds showing and SJSU rebounded it only to turn the ball over with 30.7 seconds left.
Jones then received a pass in close from Garcia and his jumphook found the net.
15 seconds remained. The Redhawks led by one, 87-86.
Olson fouled Mac Peterson with ten ticks left and the Spartan senior buried both to put San Jose State back ahead 88-87.
The Spartans called timeout.
When play resumed, Olson caught a pass from forward Mike Boxley and put down the aforementioned game winner.
At the half, San Jose State led 42-38 and it was 14 SJSU turnovers that resulted in the limited lead.
Besides the 20+ professional scouts situated along press row, Chris Mullin was spotted in the stands. Also present were Oakland Raider linebacker Thomas Howard and a pair of Sacramento King players, Steve Hawes and Jon Brockman, who both played with Adrian Oliver when all were at Washington.

Seattle - Monday night 7 p.m. - Walt McPherson Court
Ah, Seattle University. Home of the fabulous Elgin Baylor (for us oldies) and Frank Oleynick (for the relative newbies). If those don't work, it's unlikely Eddie Miles or Clint Richardson will either.
Anyway, Coach Cameron Dollar -- the former UCLA point -- moved over from assisting Lorenzo Romar at Washington when the powers-that-be at the Jesuit school wanted to return to D-1 basketball. There is also another Dollar on the coaching staff, one Donald Dollar, Cameron's father and a longtime high school coach in Georgia.
The younger Dollar has collected some early talent:
Such as, 6-foot-9 Charles Garcia who was supposed to be a Husky but an academic issue diverted him to the Capitol Hill section of Seattle. He possesses NBA potential and will bring out the pro scouts Monday night. Plus, point Cervante Burrell, out of Sacramento, is a highly regarded team leader.
Here's probably more than would ever want to know about Garcia:
NBA Draft Prospect of the Week: Charles Garcia
DraftExpress.com
December 9, 2009
Every year seemingly, a new NBA draft prospect comes out of the woodwork playing for a school that is hardly known for producing lottery picks. Our best candidate this year so far might be Charles Garcia at Seattle University.
Never heard of Seattle U? That’s not a shock, considering that this is only their second season playing Division I basketball. Although this is the alma mater of Elgin Baylor, the school is stuck in limbo as they make the transition from Division II, meaning not having any conference affiliation and being ineligible for the NCAA tournament until 2013.
Helping ease the transition significantly is the presence of one Charles Garcia, a junior college transfer from South Central LA who was denied entrance to the University of Washington for academic reasons, and instead decided to follow outgoing assistant coach Cameron Dollar across town to his new gig as head coach of Seattle. Garcia was initially slated to play at Sacramento State out of high school, but again was set back by academic issues that forced him to take the JC route.
Nine games into the season, Garcia ranks as the 3rd leading scorer amongst all NCAA prospects per-40 minutes pace adjusted, and has already helped his team notch solid wins over Fresno State, U.C. Davis and Utah, with the latter two coming on the road...
Go here for the remainder.
The Redhawks are 13-14 on the season.

What To Expect
- Which Charles Garcia shows up? The NBA prospect or the less-than-engaged one?
- Seattle averages 80 ppg. on the season so getting up and down the floor offensively is what they want to do
- The Redhawks employ a pressing, trap defense so minimizing turnovers will be a key for San Jose State, as well as exploiting any openings provided by double teams
- Burrell earned three fouls in a 14-second span in the game against Idaho, thereby limiting Seattle's point guard efficiency and certainly the chances of winning
- As an aside, when will the Redhawks be brought back into the West Coast Conference?
