Utah State’s undefeated start ends with loss to UC San Diego | Sports
LOGAN – Utah State fell from the ranks of the undefeated Tuesday evening, its best-ever 10-0 start becoming a 10-1 overall record following a tough second half and loss to UC San Diego. The Aggies held a 39-32 advantage at halftime, courtesy of a strong half overall and a five point burst in the final minutes. But they went on to shoot just 28.6 percent from the field in the second half. That struggle from the field came as a dramatic contrast to the first half in which USU made 50 percent of its attempts. “It was just a matter of us getting in the flow of the offense,” said USU point guard Deyton Albury, adding that “making shots was tough for us in the second half.” Many sequences and moments could be nit-picked to find a reason for a loss where the margin of defeat is two points, but the shooting probably makes the most compelling case. The worst offender in that regard was a nearly nine-minute span — 9:51 to 0:43 in the second half. Utah State went 1 of 13 from the field during that time frame, and while UC San Diego didn’t exactly explode on offense itself,
