Losses at Nevada, at San Diego State, and most recently at UNLV, have all made the Aggies take a step back in a tightly contested race. And yet, despite all of those missteps, Utah State is now the champions of Mountain West men’s basketball (though only a share of the title is guarenteed). It’s because the Aggies weren’t the only team stepping on rakes at every turn. Their two biggest rivals in the league title race have been San Diego State and New Mexico.

Utah State enters March needing only 40 minutes of basketball to clinch a second Mountain West regular season championship in three seasons. The first chance at securing that trophy will come away from Logan, along with a chance at something else: revenge.

Multiple motivating factors are present for Utah State to come away with a victory as the final week of the regular season begins. Here’s all of the necessary info ahead of this game for the Aggies.

For only the second time this season, Utah State is on a losing streak with back-to-back losses on the road to Nevada and San Diego State. The Aggies will look to end the skid against a Grand Canyon team they lost to earlier in the season (and was part of the only other losing streak of the year). It’ll be a battle of two teams that are fiercly proud of their home courts and student sections. Members of USU’s student section, The HURD, have been camping outside the arena for most of the week in anticipation of this rematch.
