Despite missing its first 13 shots from 3-point land and trailing Missouri for nearly all of the first half, Utah State were able to stay with the Tigers and even take a lead in the second half. The Aggies shot 76 percent on its 2-pointers in the first half (making up for the 0-11 mark from three) and only trailed 35-31 at halftime despite their poor outside shooting. “We went into halftime knowing that we were down four and hadn’t made a three yet,” junior guard Steven Ashworth said. “We had a lot of confidence in that.” Utah State head coach Ryan Odom calls for timeout during the first half of a first-round college basketball game against Missouri in the NCAA Tournament in Sacramento,
