(AP Photo/Michael Conroy) INDIANAPOLIS, IN — It’s been a long time coming. A full 23 years plus eight days since the Utah State Aggies could last lay claim to a victory in the NCAA Tournament.

(AP Photo/Michael Conroy) The counter is now back to zero. Utah State surged late in the first half and exploded in the second half to fly past TCU 88-72. It was a fantastic offensive display, including a career night from Isaac Johnson, plus a (mostly) great night on the defensive end. “Unbelievable win. Just the toughness and the grit our guys showed against a Big-12 team,” USU head coach Danny Sprinkle said. “That’s a really good team. We knew what we were in for when we drew that seed.” The Aggies didn’t get

(AP Photo/Denis Poroy) INDIANAPOLIS, IN — There’s a lot at stake for Utah State this weekend. A lot wrapped up in a Friday evening basketball game against TCU in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. For one, there’s that whole 23-year drought for the Aggies when it comes to wins in the Big Dance. That and USU is supposed to be one of the flagship teams for the Mountain West in this tournament. The regular season conference champs of the MW were shown about as much respect as the rest of the league, getting an eight seed that’s matched them up with the eighth-place team in the Big 12. On an individual basis, many of Utah State’s players, especially its leading rotation guys, are looking for their own first victory in the tournament. Darius Brown and Great Osobor both came up short with Montana State last year (Osobor went two straight years with first-round losses at MSU). Landon Brenchley, Mason Falslev and Isaac Johnson were all

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (77) dives for a steal against Utah Jazz guard Keyonte George, left, during the second half of an NBA basketball game in Dallas, Thursday, March 21, 2024. (AP Photo/LM Otero) DALLAS (AP) — Luka Doncic had 34 points, nine rebounds and eight assists and the Dallas Mavericks beat the Utah Jazz 113-97 on Thursday night to move into the sixth and final guaranteed playoff position in the Western Conference. Dallas improved to 41-29 with its third straight victory and seventh in eight games. The Mavericks moved a half-game ahead of Sacramento and Phoenix, which faced Atlanta at home Thursday in a late game. Sacramento lost at Washington earlier Thursday. Doncic didn’t have a rebound or an assist in the fourth quarter, playing four minutes. He shot 11 of 23 from the floor, 4 of 10 on 3s. Daniel Gafford added 24 points, his high game since being acquired in early February. Gafford missed the second half of the second quarter after crumpling to the court and being helped to the locker room, then returned to start the second half. Kyrie Irving scored 16 points, 11 in the second half. The Jazz were swept in a

(AP Photo/John Peterson) OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — As his players celebrated around him after springing the first big upset of the NCAA Tournament, Duquesne coach Keith Dambrot joked that they had refused to let their retiring coach reach “the promised land” with their down-to-the-wire win over BYU. The promised land is a better description for the second round of the NCAA tourney anyway. Dae Dae Grant scored 19 points, including four clinching free throws in the final 10 seconds, and the No. 11 seed Dukes held on after blowing a 14-point lead in a 71-67 victory over the sixth-seeded Cougars on Thursday. Jakub Necas added 12 points and Jimmy Clark III had 11 for the Atlantic 10 tourney champs, who won four games in four days there just to qualify for their first dance in 47 years, and now have their first win on the NCAA stage since 1969. The Dukes (25-11) will play third-seeded Illinois for a spot in the Sweet 16 on Saturday. “I’m trying

Utah Jazz guard Collin Sexton (2) drives past Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort, left, during the second half of an NBA basketball game Wednesday, March 20, 2024, in Oklahoma City. (AP Photo/Kyle Phillips) OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Chet Holmgren scored 35 points and tied a career high with 14 rebounds and the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the short-handed Utah Jazz 119-107 on Wednesday night. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 20 of his 31 points in the second half for the Thunder, who have the best record in the Western Conference at 48-20. Alexander became the 13th player in NBA history to score 30 points or more in 50 games. “Credit Utah, they really competed tonight,” Thunder coach Mark Daigneault said. “I thought they were the more physical team after the first six minutes of the game, and that really tested us.” Collin Sexton had 25 points for Utah, which played without injured players Lauri Markkanen and Jordan Clarkson — two of the team’s top three scorers. “I thought we played 42 good minutes tonight,” said Utah coach Will Hardy, whose team has lost three straight and 14 of its last 17 to fall to 29-40. “I was really proud of the
