The Washington State Cougars typically have all the answers at home, but on Sunday Utah State proved too difficult a challenge. The Aggies took their contest against Washington State 82-73. Six players on Utah State scored in the double digits: guard Steven Ashworth (12), forward Taylor Funk (12), center Trevin Dorius (12), guard Sean Bairstow (11), guard Max Shulga (11), and forward Dan Akin (10).
Meanwhile, Fresno State didn’t have too much breathing room in their game with the Wyoming Cowboys on Wednesday, but they still walked away with a 58-53 victory. Fresno State can attribute much of their success to forward Isaih Moore, who had 13 points in addition to nine rebounds, and guard Jemarl Baker, who had 20 points.
The wins brought Utah State up to 11-2 and the Bulldogs to 5-7. A pair of offensive stats to keep an eye on: The Aggies enter the matchup with 85.1 points per game on average, good for seventh best in college basketball.
