SAN FRANCISCO — The San Francisco State men's basketball team honored senior Sean Orr in a pregame ceremony on the team's final game of the season on Saturday, a 61-53 loss to visiting Cal Poly Pomona inside the Main Gym at Don Nasser Family Plaza.
- The Gators, who were picked to finish 11th in the CCAA preseason coaches poll, finished just shy of the conference tournament in seventh place. The Gators finish the season 11-16 overall and 8-12 in CCAA play.
- Orr, the team's lone senior, made his 27th start of the season on Saturday and made his 55th career appearance in the purple and gold. He was second on the team with 28.1 minutes per game and was third on the team in points (9.8) and rebounds (5.5) per game. He was also named to the First Team Academic All-District® selected by CoSIDA.
- Jalen Chandler led all players with 13 points, eight in the first half, and finished his season averaging 9.9 points per game, second highest on the team.
- Toby Okwuokei led SF State in scoring this season with 12.8 points per game. He had six points in Saturday's finale.
- The Gators had nine different players score while the Broncos had eight different players score. BJ Standley and Tay Aubry-Thomas led the Broncos with 12 points apiece.
CPP staked a six-point lead in the first four minutes but the Gators evened the score over the next two minutes. SF State took a 14-11 lead off of a Chandler three-pointer but the Broncos took control back with a 10-0 run before Chandler laid one in at the eight-minute mark to keep the Gators within five, and the deficit grew to eight at the half. SF State had seven fewer field goals but kept the game close thanks to 6-of-6 free throw shooting.
The Gators cut the lead to two with under 11 minutes to go on a pair of Okeke free throws and
Devon Jackson tied the game at 42-42 with a jumper from Okeke, then took the lead on
Zebaniah Jackson's layup from Orr with 10 minutes to go.
However, the Broncos answered with a 9-0 run and the Gators found themselves in another seven-point hole. A Chandler dunk inside five minutes pulled the Gators to within four but the Broncos outscored SF State 9-5 run in the final four minutes.
