(AP Photo/Jack Dempsey) LOGAN, Utah — For the fourth season in a row, the Aggies will play postseason basketball. The bracket for the 2022 National Invitation Tournament was announced Sunday evening and Utah State is the fourth seed, hosting fifth-seed Oregon on Tuesday night. “We’re just happy to be playing, without a doubt,” head coach Ryan Odom said. “It’s like icing on the cake to be able to play one more time in the Spectrum. And I know the Aggie faithful will be in that gym on Tuesday night and excited.” Following the Aggies’ loss to Colorado State in the Mountain West Men’s Basketball Championship quarterfinal game, Utah State was far from guaranteed a spot in the postseason. Due to the Aggies’ record and failure to win the conference tournament, a bid to the NCAA Tournament was ruled out. Additionally, many national pundits did not have Utah State projected to make the NIT. Odom felt his team deserved to make it due to their metrics and quality wins (finishing the

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (00) goes to the basket between Sacramento Kings defenders during the second half of an NBA basketball game Saturday, March 12, 2022, in Salt Lake City. (AP Photo/Adam Fondren) SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Playing without Rudy Gobert and Mike Conley, Utah Jazz coach Quin Snyder called it a “man-up type of game.” Well, Jordan Clarkson was certainly the man against Sacramento. Clarkson scored a career-high 45 points to overcome the absence of Gobert and Conley and help the Jazz beat the Kings 134-125 on Saturday night. Clarkson set a franchise record for points as a reserve and had the first 40-point game for a Jazz player since he had 41 last season on May 10 against Golden State. He has four games with more than 40 points off the bench. Conley planted the seed when they arrived at the arena and he started telling Clarkson that it was about time he had a big scoring night. “You know what I haven’t seen you do all year?
