Utah State wins thriller over New Mexico, claims MW title outright – Cache Valley Daily

LOGAN – Darius Brown is no stranger to hitting huge shots. His late-game heroics are why Utah State entered Saturday evening’s game against New Mexico 8-0 in games decided by five points or less. Make that 9-0 for the Aggies in close games and another big-time shot on Brown’s resume. Over the final eight minutes of USU’s 87-85 win over the Lobos, both sides refused to back down, trading buckets as Utah State fought for the right to an outright Mountain West regular season title and New Mexico fought to play spoiler and perhaps add a crucial win to its shaky NCAA Tournament resume. It started with Brown hitting a pair of free throws on a one-and-one with 7:42 on the clock. That tipped the game from a 69-68 advantage to New Mexico to a 70-69 lead for the Aggies. Little would anyone realize, but that would be the last time the Lobos led in the game, though it hardly felt like it at times. Six times in those final seven minutes and change, New Mexico tied the game. Every big shot the Aggies hit, the Lobos found a response. Brown spins Jaelen House out of his shoes, drives the

Guaranteed share of MW title on the line as USU takes on San Jose State – Cache Valley Daily

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

Utah State prepping for senior night, season finale vs New Mexico with plenty on the line – Cache Valley Daily

LOGAN — Although Utah State can already call itself champions, there’s still plenty to be fighting for in its season finale and senior night in the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum. And with an opponent of New Mexico’s caliber, it seems almost destined to be a classic. When USU last took on the Lobos, back on Jan. 16, it was at the height of the Aggies’ national acclaim, ranking a season-best 16th in the AP Poll. 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

‘Dynamic’ Mountain West hoops race could see 6 teams move on to March Madness – Cache Valley Daily

The No. 22 Aggies continued their unexpected run under first-year coach Sprinkle by clinching at least a share of the regular-season title by winning at San Jose State. (AP Photo/Steve Conner, File) SAN DIEGO (AP) — Brian Dutcher has experienced all 25 seasons of Mountain West basketball and he’s never seen one as crazy as this one. A season after Dutcher’s San Diego State Aztecs became the first Mountain West team to reach the Final Four, the conference could have a record six teams reach the NCAA Tournament. “Unbelievable,” Dutcher said of the race in the Mountain West, which stretches from San Diego’s beaches to the towering peaks of the Rocky Mountains and into the high desert of New Mexico, where the Lobos would love to rejoin March Madness after a decade away. “It’s dynamic. You’ve just got to enjoy every win you get.” For the longest time, several teams were within one game of the lead. The reigning regular-season and conference tournament champion Aztecs, ranked No. 21 in The Associated Press

(AP Photo/Rick Bowmer) SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — DeMar DeRozan scored 29 points, including the go-ahead basket with a minute left, to lead the Chicago Bulls to a 119-117 victory over the Utah Jazz on Wednesday night. Coby White scored 25 points, including seven 3-pointers, and had six assists for the Bulls, who survived a late comeback to beat Utah for the fourth straight time. Nikola Vucevic had 23 points and 12 rebounds. “We just got to stay the course, do what we need to do, pull out the victory and carry on,” DeRozan said. “Every single game is going to be tough.” John Collins led Utah with 25 points and 14 rebounds. Collin Sexton had 24 points and seven assists. Brice Sensabaugh added a career-high 15 points and a career-high 12 rebounds in his first NBA start. Utah trailed almost the entire time for the first three quarters, but Chicago never led by more than 12 points during that stretch and left room for

Utah State clinches share of MW title with 3-point barrage win over San Jose State – Cache Valley Daily

Utah State guard Josh Uduje (14) shoots a three-pointer over San Jose State guard Latrell Davis (6) during the second half of an NCAA basketball game Wednesday, March 6, 2024, in San Jose, Calif. (AP Photo/Nic Coury) Utah State head coach Danny Sprinkle frequently went to bat for his team’s 3-point shooting early in the season, even while the Aggies were establishing themselves as one of the least efficient shooting teams in the country. Sprinkle insisted they could hit 15 threes in a game, but prior to Wednesday’s road contest at San Jose State ranked 271st in the country in 3-point percentage and an average of six made threes per game, topping out at 11 in a single game. Two hours spent in the Provident Credit Union Event Center later, Utah State had not only reached that 15 triples mark, but surpassed it with a season-high of 16. “I’ve been telling people, like I’ve seen this team shooting the basketball like this in practice. I’m shocked that we haven’t shot it better in games,” Sprinkle said. “Hopefully, our confidence will build on this game. Because when we are making threes, like any team, we’re pretty dang good.” This “pretty dang
