Jones also had six assists as Memphis won its sixth straight. “It’s just next man up. Be ready when your name is called,” Jones said of filling in for Morant. “Being ready for your opportunity. No excuses. Just play ball.” Lauri Markkanen led the Jazz with 21 points, while Kelly Olynyk added 19 points. Each also had eight rebounds. Jordan Clarkson had 17 points before he was ejected late in the third quarter, and Malik Beasley added 15 points. Rookie Walker Kessler finished with 10 points, 11 rebounds and six blocks.

Who are the players who have their jerseys retired by Utah State? – Cache Valley Daily

Wayne Estes. Photo courtesy of Utah State University LOGAN – Utah State announced last week it will retire the jersey of its all-time leading scorer, Jaycee Carroll, on Feb. 18 during the halftime break of the Aggie game against Nevada. The former guard, who scored 2,522 points in his four years in Logan, announced his retirement from basketball in June following a 13-year professional career in Europe, mostly spent with the Spanish club Real Madrid. Carroll’s No. 20 jersey will hang from the rafters on the east side of the court, but who will he join up there? Some of the names are legendary in the halls of Aggie lore while others are lesser-known, shaded by the passage of time. We’ll go through all five of the jerseys and numbers. First, a quick explanation of how jersey retirement has worked at Utah State.

From the very start the Aggies struggled to get defensive stops on Boise State. Outside of a three-minute stretch in the first half in which they went 1-for-7 from the field, the Broncos made 67 percent of their field goals. Whatever went up for Boise State seemingly always went down through the hoop. Tyson Degenhart led the way for the home team with 19 points on 8-of-14 shooting to go with 10 rebounds for the entire game. “There was some execution things that we simply didn’t’ execute,” USU senior Sean Bairstow said, “and I feel like they executed on a lot of their stuff. They got a lot of clean looks.” Conversly, Utah
