USU looking to be more consistent on defense against defensive-minded Aztecs – Cache Valley Daily
SAN DIEGO — The Aggies will look to snap a two-game losing streak against the Aztecs on Tuesday night. Utah State (15-11, 6-7) visits San Diego State (15-6, 7-3) at Viejas Arena as the Aggies look to get their second season sweep of a conference foe. Utah State handed the Aztecs their worst loss of the season by deficit, 75 to 57, in January, however, the Aggies’ 13-point loss to Nevada indicates we may not see a similar scoreline. Head coach Ryan Odom said he knows how his team played in the first game against the Aztecs — let alone how they played on Friday — will not cut it against the fourth-place team in the conference. “We have to respond to how we played in our last game. We didn’t play particularly well,” Odom said. “I think our guys are excited to play after our last performance. (They) understand that we’ve got to play much better in this particular game, than even we even did in the first game, in order to come out with a win.” The main thing Odom wants to improve from Friday’s loss is the Aggies’ defense. He said Utah State gave up 24 points
