With events playing out as they did Tuesday, Utah State will be playing for the right to be at worst a co-Mountain West champion as it takes on San Jose State on the road Wednesday. Mind you, that co-champion title could be spread among as many as four teams depending on how results pan out later this week (and assuming an Aggie victory tonight for this thought experiment), but a trophy will be coming to Logan regardless should USU prevail over the Spartans in Provident Credit Union Event Center. It wouldn’t guarantee a one seed in the upcoming Mountain West Tournament, though, giving the Aggies plenty to fight for for the remainder of this week. Victory against SJSU came somewhat easily last time out as Utah State pulled off a 21-point triumph, 82-61 in the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum. The final score was lopsided, but the Aggies didn’t start the game off particularly well. The Spartans jumped out to a six-point lead in the first few minutes of the game, and held a lead as late as 7:33 left in the first half. At that point, the Aggies went on a 10-2 lead to take control of the contest. Early

They had an undefeated record in Mountain West play and were on a 15-game win streak that had produced a 16-1 overall record at the time. All of that was to be put on the line for what was, at the time, Utah State’s toughest challenge of the year: a road game at The Pit. Unfortunately for the Aggies, that challenge proved to be too much as they were cut down by a 13-point margin, 99-86. Those 99 points are not only the most allowed by Utah State this season, but the most since 2008.     This rematch has a lot more at stake than just an AP ranking or double-digit win streak. Utah State is aiming for an outright claim on the Mountain
