San Francisco currently sits at No. 50 in the NET, and with this game taking place in Salt Lake City at the Delta Center, it makes this game technically a neutral-site game (much like last year’s game at the Chase Center a neutral-site game despite being within an hour of the Dons’ campus) and games against top 50 opponents qualify as Quad 1 wins, something Utah State doesn’t have yet.
