(AP Photo/Eric Gay) SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Talen Horton-Tucker scored a career-high 41 points and the Utah Jazz defeated the Spurs 128-117 on Wednesday night in what could have been coach Gregg Popovich’s final home game in San Antonio. Utah snapped a four-game skid to keep its fading playoff hopes alive in its first season under Will Hardy, who served five seasons under Popovich as an assistant coach. “I’m probably not the right person to ask and, at this point, I’m not sure he’s the right person to ask either,” Hardy said about Popovich’s possible retirement. Popovich has given no indication that he is retiring or even that he will return for his 28th season. The annual speculation has intensified, though, especially since the 74-year-old coach allowed his expected induction this summer into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame after years of refusing to even be nominated. The Spurs have two home games remaining, but those will be played 73 miles away in Austin’s new Moody Center. “It’s something that is real,

The incoming coach will be the fifth coach for the Aggies since the start of the 2014-15 season. Who exactly the next head coach is is something few will know for quite a while. One of those few will be USU’s interim athletic director, Jerry Bovee, who will undergo the biggest test of his short tenure in trying to find someone that will continue the success that Odom, and his predecessor Craig Smith, brought to Utah State. Potential candidates could be guessed in a few different ways. One is to find potential coaches that have some connection to Utah. Craig Smith became familiar with Utah State during his time as an assistant at Colorado State. Ryan Odom had a brother in the scouting department for the Utah Jazz. The connections were small, but present and likely played a
LOGAN — According to reports, Utah State head basketball coach Ryan Odom will leave the school to take the head coaching position at VCU, ending his two-year tenure in Logan. Dick Weiss of the New York Daily News, first reported that Odom has left USU and is heading back east to take over the job left by Mike Rhoades who left the Rams to take the Penn State job. Ryan Odom leaves Utah State, resurfaces on East Coast as head coach at VCU. Great get for Rams. Welcome back coach huge fan of your dad. — Dick Weiss (@HoopsWeiss) March 29, 2023 Last week Jeff Goodman, a basketball analyst for Stadium, reported that Odom was “arguably the frontrunner” to become the next head coach, not at VCU, but South Florida. However, it seems Odom is looking for a better basketball situation. The Bulls have a 45-77 record over the last four seasons and haven’t made the NCAA Tournament (despite being in a multi-bid AAC) since 2011. The Rams meanwhile have been tournament mainstays out of the A-10, getting an invite to the big dance 10 times in the last 12 seasons (excluding the 2019-20 season when the tournament was cancelled).

(AP Photo/Rick Bowmer) SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Devin Booker scored 24 points and Phoenix reserves sparked the decisive run for the Suns in a 117-103 win over the fading Utah Jazz on Monday night. “Our bench came in and changed the dynamic of the game from a physicality standpoint, getting stops. That allowed us to get out in transition,” Phoenix coach Monty Williams said. Deandre Ayton had 14 points after missing four games with a bruised hip. But a trio off the bench was pivotal for Phoenix: Terrence Ross had 13 points, Cameron Payne added 12 and Bismack Biyombo scored 11. They helped the Suns to a 57-25 advantage in bench points. “The bench is starting to come together. We are getting a better rhythm and groove, and when we come into the game we’re bringing a different level of energy,” Ross said. The Suns (40-35) had lost four in a row on the road. But with this victory they sit more securely in
SANDY, Utah (AP) — João Klauss scored a pair of goals and Saint. Louis City extended its winning streak to five straight matches to start the season with a 4-0 victory over Real Salt Lake on Saturday night. Only two other MLS teams claimed 15 points in their first five games, the Galaxy in 1996 and Sporting Kansas City in 2012. St. Louis had already set the record for the best start for an expansion team when it won its fourth last weekend, surpassing the Seattle Sounders in 2009. Salt Lake (1-3-0) won its season opener against Vancouver, but then dropped consecutive games against Seattle and Austin. Nicholas Gioacchini, who St. Louis acquired in the expansion draft from Orlando, scored just two minutes into the second half off Eduard Lowen’s corner kick. Klauss, a Brazilian, added goals in the 61st and 66th minutes. He has five goals so far this season. Rasmus Alm added the final goal in the 76th minute. Only three other expansion teams have won at RSL: Toronto (2007), Atlanta (2017) and LAFC (2018).

(AP Photo/Randall Benton) SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Kevin Huerter scored a team-high 27 points and the Sacramento Kings beat the Utah Jazz 121-113 on Saturday night. Domantas Sabonis finished with 16 points, 15 rebounds and seven assists for his NBA-leading 60th double-double of the season. Harrison Barnes added 18 points. Huerter added seven rebounds and four assists for the Kings (45-29). “We need to win … this time of the year,” Kings coach Mike Brown said. “We had a lot of great performances.” Keegan Murray scored 14 of his 22 total points in the first quarter and knocked down six three-pointers for the Kings. Murray is four three-pointers away from breaking Donovan Mitchell’s single-season record for three-pointers made in a rookie season. “I think it’s great because it comes in the flow of our offense,” Murray said about the record. “I don’t do anything special. We have a lot of playmakers in our offense. I just knock down shots.” Jazz rookie Walker Kessler scored a

LOGAN — Utah State wide receiver Josh Davis, the player identified as the athlete who collapsed during Thursday’s spring football practice, has been upgraded from critical condition, to fair condition as of Friday morning according to a release from Utah State University. The cause of Davis’ collapse according to the release was a “non-traumatic sudden cardiac arrest.” He was attended to immediately by USU training staff led by Associate Athletics Director for Sports Medicine, Mike Williams. Emergency personnel later arrived and provided additional support. Davis was initially transported to Logan Regional Hospital where he was stabilized but remained in critical condition. He was later transferred to McKay-Dee Hospital in Ogden. According to USU’s statement, the McKay-Dee staff “continued treatment with therapeutic hypothermia to lower the body temperature to preserve his neurological function.” Davis has since been taken off life-substantiating medical devices and is breathing under his own power. Davis is a redshirt freshman from Carlsbad, California. His parents arrived in Utah Thursday evening and met with Utah

LOGAN – In a developmental program like Utah State, it’s typical for players whose names fans have only seen on the roster to come out of the blue and become the best players on the team. It’s the nature of a team like the Aggies. A lot of work is done behind the scenes with players who come in and spend a year or two out of sight and mind of the fans. But when the players emerge as redshirt sophomores or juniors, they’ve bulked up, worked on the finer aspects of their game, and are much more capable than as fresh high school recruits. The following are players who have spent at least a year on Utah State’s roster and are likely to make the jump from relative unknown to potentially starting and maybe even becoming one of the better players on the team. Ike Larsen | Sophomore | Safety Is it possible for Larsen to have a “breakout” season if he was an honorable mention freshman All-American and Second Team All-Mountain West? Well, kind of. Looking at Larsen’s season totals last year shows how much his impact came in bursts. Through the first eight games of the season,
