Box Score SAN FRANCISCO -- A 47-point second half by San Francisco State spelled doom for the Cal State East Bay men's basketball team, which fell to the Gators, 81-57, on the road Friday night. The Pioneers (7-20, 4-17 CCAA) trailed by three at halftime, but they shot just 34 percent from the field in the second half as the Gators (13-11, 11-10 CCAA) took control of the game.

Gabe Kindred and Nick Grieves led East Bay with 17 points each in the loss. Four SF State players scored in double figures, led by Nefi Perdomo with 23.

"Coach Trevor had his team playing at a high level tonight," said head coach Gus Argenal. "They defended and forced tempo all night. We played a solid first half, but could not sustain it, and ultimately we had breakdowns that created a deficit we couldn't recover from."

The Pioneers never led in the game, despite keeping the score tight for the first 25 minutes or so. They trailed by as many as eight in the first half before heating up from outside in the final minutes befor halftime. Grieves, Donavon Jackson, and Jacari Whitfield all knocked down three-pointers as East Bay cut its deficit to 32-31.

Unfortunately, the shots didn't continue fall for the Pioneers in the second half. They went just 2-for-14 from behind the arc in the frame, allowing the home team to stretch out its lead. The Gators went on a 14-2 run after the first media timeout of the half to go up by 16 points, and then cruised to the victory from there.
