It was the first NCAA basketball game ever played in the Caribbean island, part of the inaugural Jamaica Classic.
CSU made just 1 of its first 17 attempts from the field and trailed 20-2 less than 12 minutes in. The Green Wave (3-0) never looked back, leading by 23 at halftime (37-14) and by as much as 28 in the second half to hand coach Larry Eustachy’s team its first loss this season.
