FRESNO, Calif. (AP)Eddie Miller tied a career-high with 27 points and Kevin Bell added 15 points and eight assists in Fresno State's 75-58 win over San Jose State on Saturday night.

Fresno State led by as many as 18 points before Mac Peterson's 3-pointer with 10:23 left trimmed the deficit to 54-45.

The Bulldogs responded with an 11-2 scoring run, putting the game away when Bellstole the ball at midcourt and found Miller for an alley-oop dunk.

Miller had 13 points in the first half, pacing Fresno State to a 32-27 lead.

After the Bulldogs trailed by double digits early, Miller and Bell keyed a 27-8 scoring run that included an emphatic dunk by freshman center Jason Webster.
