Strong second half pushes Utah State past ETSU in non-conference finale – Cache Valley Daily

LOGAN – Through the first 10 minutes of Utah State’s 80-65 win over East Tennessee State, the Aggies looked to be as out-of-sorts on offense as they had been against San Francisco — a game where USU ended up with its worst offensive output by far, and a season-low 54 points. The Aggies somehow won that game against San Francisco anyway, but that 54-53 game was expected to be close. USU walked onto the court at the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum on Friday as 17.5-point favorites over the visiting Bucs. Yet with 9:58 left to play in the opening half, Utah State found itself trailing ETSU 17-14. As a team, the Aggies had shot 3 of 13 from the field including six straight misses at that moment in time. A saving grace for Utah State, and the reason such a cold-shooting night hadn’t resulted in a larger deficit, was the Buccaneers own shooting woes, having gone a mediocre 6 of 14 from the field to that point themselves. But there were dangerous signs as ETSU forward Jaden Seymour was providing a reliable scoring punch, having accounted for 13 of the Bucs points to that moment in the game (and would

Oregon State, Washington State agree to revenue distribution deal with 10 departing Pac-12 schools – Cache Valley Daily

(AP Photo/Young Kwak, File) Oregon State and Washington State announced Thursday they have reached an agreement in principle with 10 departing Pac-12 schools on revenue distribution for 2023-24 that ends a legal battle sparked by conference realignment. Last week, Oregon State and Washington State were given control of the Pac-12 and assets when the state Supreme Court of Washington declined to review a lower court’s decision to grant the schools a preliminary injunction. Financial terms of the settlement were not released, but in a joint statement Washington State and Oregon State said the departing members will forfeit a portion of distributions for this school year and guarantees to cover a specific portion of “potential future liabilities.” “This agreement ensures that the future of the Pac-12 will be decided by the schools that are staying, not those that are leaving. We look forward to what

Pistons drop 25th straight to move within loss of tying NBA single-season record – Cache Valley Daily

(AP Photo/Carlos Osorio) DETROIT (AP) — Kelly Olynyk scored 25 points and the short-handed Utah Jazz beat Detroit 119-111 on Thursday night for the Pistons’ 25th straight loss — one short of the NBA single season record. The 2010-11 Cleveland Cavaliers and 2013-14 Philadelphia 76ers share the record at 26. The 76ers hold the overall mark at 28, a skid that started in the 2014-15 season and carried over into 2015-16. “I want to be careful with my words, because this one hurts more than most of them,” first-year coach Monty Williams said. “A team that played last night got (50) points off turnovers and rebounds. It is unbelievably hard to understand how we can get outworked in those categories.” The Pistons fell to 2-26, with the crowd chanting “Sell the team! Sell the team!” at the end in a loud statement to owner Tom Gores and his Platinum Equity firm. Detroit will be back in action Saturday night in Brooklyn. “We’re not 2-26 bad — no way are

Utah State closing out non-conference slate at home vs East Tennessee State – Cache Valley Daily

Photo by Lorene Hale LOGAN — Utah State will look to continue its improbably hot start to the season, currently amounting to a 10-game win streak and 11-1 overall record, in the Aggies’ non-conference finale against East Tennessee State. The Aggies won’t be the only team with a winning streak on the line in this game as ETSU is riding a four-game streak that has flipped the team’s 3-4 start into a current 7-4 overall record. The wins aren’t the most impressive, with none of the victories coming against teams in the top 200 of the NET. But it’s a win streak nonetheless. USU head coach Danny Sprinkle said ETSU will be “the most athletic team we’re going to play” with “five tremendous starters” that can cause a lot of problems. One of the players Utah State would normally rely on to counter athletic teams, the versatile senior forward Max Agbonkpolo, will not be available in this game and likely not for the rest of the year. Sprinkle said that after the San Francisco game, X-rays found a fracture in Agbonkpolo’s foot and that he will need surgery. The 6-foot-9 forward had already been perpetually day-to-day because of his foot
