Another of USU’s veteran guards, Ian Martinez, said it was “really special” given his

But as tricky as finally getting out of the opening round was, with 10 straight defeats across 23 seasons, game only get harder the further a team gets into the tournament. And boy does the second round bring a new rude awakening for Utah State. Purdue, the No. 3 overall team in the country according to the AP Top 25 Poll, KenPom, the NET, just about any reputable ranking has the Boilermakers in the top three. They’re the No. 1 seed of the Midwest region and just completed a 28-point dismantling of Grambling State.
