Remains sneaky on defense in loss Bell racked up six points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds, one assist and three steals in 36 minutes during Saturday's 86-82 loss to Stanford.

Impact Bell got his third straight start in an eventual loss to Stanford, and he contributed in ways other than scoring for the Spartans. The freshman guard's three steals helped keep the game close for San Jose State, and he's now tallied five steals across his last three contests. If he ends up figuring out his three-point shot in the coming games, Bell could be a problem on both sides of the court for opposing defenses.
