Slow start no problem for Utah State in 26-point win over Charlotte | Sports

Late last week, Utah State played its worst basketball of the year in a 74-61 loss to South Florida. And six minutes into the Aggies second road game in three days — this time at Charlotte —  they were playing roughly on par with how they’d looked a few days prior. Utah State shot just 1-for-9 from the field to start the game, allowing Charlotte to take a 12-5 lead. Alongside its shooting struggles, Utah State was struggling on the glass.  Charlotte had a 7-foot-2 center, Anton Bonke, who gave USU fits with 13 rebounds, five of which were on the offensive end. The 49ers had 14 offensive boards the entire game, which tied a season high for them and marked the most Utah State has yielded to an opponent all year.
