Utah State held true to this concept in attempting a season-high 39 threes against Colorado State to fuel its 88-79 win on the road. The Aggies didn’t set a season high in made threes (that would require re-setting the program record they broke earlier this year with 21 threes against Westminster) but the 18 triples made was perfectly suitable for the team’s purposes. Colorado State meanwhile did most of its damage inside the arc, going 29-of-41 (70.7 percent) on 2-pointers. But that insane level of efficiency inside the arc just wasn’t enough to overcome USU’s 3-point shooting. Steven Ashworth led the way for USU in downtown shooting, blowing away his previous career high in attempts (13) by going 8-for-17 on threes alone. Those eight makes tied his career high and helped the junior guard score 26 points, the fifth-highest total of his career. The Aggies could hardly have started hotter on offense, making four of its first five field goal attempts – all of those makes being 3-pointers – plus a free throw to score

LOGAN – Utah State is on a two-game winning streak and have won four of its last five games. The Aggies will take that run of form on the road to take on a struggling Colorado State team that has lost four straight games and may be without one of its key players. This game will be the only one between the Rams and Aggies this season, barring a matchup in the conference tournament, so all the tiebreakers and bragging rights are at stake in this game.
