ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Seikou Sisoho Jawara had his best game of the season with 20 points as Weber State made history with a 68-58 win over Green Bay on Sunday to win the Jersey Mike's Classic in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Sisoho Jawara was 7 of 9 from the field and 5 of 6 from 3-point point range, with 18 of his 20 points in the first half to go along with five 3-pointers in the win, which gave the Wildcats their first 5-0 start since the 1985-86 season. It was also the 300th career win for head coach Randy Rahe, who improved to 300-179 in his 16th season with Weber State.
Dillon Jones had his fourth double-double in five games as he finished with 13 points and grabbed a game-high 12 rebounds for the Wildcats. He also had three steals and was 6 of 8 from the field.
JJ Overton added 16 points on 6 of 7 shooting and had three rebounds.
The Wildcats trailed early on before an 11-0 run gave WSU a 33-23 lead with five minutes left in the first half.
