Mason Falslev put on a show, and Utah State couldn’t stop making 3s.
Falslev erupted for a career-high 33 points and 12 rebounds as the Aggies tied a program record in 3-pointers made and dominated UC San Diego.
Another historic night in the Spectrum. https://t.co/D35sT8NYIR
Dallin Hall went absolutely nuclear Tuesday night.
The graduate guard, an excellent passer who averages just 7.3 points per game over his college career, erupted for a career-high 35 as Utah State routed Utah Tech.
A night to remember in the Spectrum ⬇️ https://t.co/wkqB5LaLjY
Utah State faces emerging Big Sky program and in-state foe Utah Tech.
The Trailblazers present a couple of intriguing matchups for the Aggies, including center Ethan Potter and freshman guard Christian Gibson.
Read more about these matchups in my preview story linked below.
@carsonfrostutah Been great to see him play with confidence. The defense is even better when paired with an offense that can string some drives together.
Mason Falslev and Dallin Hall reached career milestones in a special way Saturday, assisting on each other’s threes as Utah State rolled past Omaha.
Falslev nearly finished with a 20-point triple-double. Plus, updates on Jax Allen and Collin Mulholland. https://t.co/LdGj0GR0kI
@BradenTClark It’s a tough compromise to move the students but I think the way it has been done will be a fair compromise. We have just as many student seats and they were great last night. And a million more in revenue yearly.
@BradenTClark Those seats weren’t filled but were they paid for? I believe they were. Hate to see empty seats but, overall, results of the changes will be positive for the program. At a time when some players make more than the head coach, you have to find a way to be financially competitive.
@StocktonJewkes The atmosphere was great. Especially for an early season game. The HURD was in great form—unified and loud. The extra million in revenue each year will also be big time. So good to be back.
A new era of Aggie basketball begins tonight.
Ben Jacobson makes his Utah State coaching debut against Idaho State after going 3-0 in exhibitions.
Such an exciting brand of basketball we’ve watched this team play so far.
Feels great to start another season of Aggie basketball with a women’s and men’s doubleheader at the Spectrum!
The women open against Westminster at 4 p.m., looking to bounce back from a rough exhibition at GCU. The men follow against Idaho State at 7:30.
Utah State men’s basketball’s media day offered plenty to unpack ahead of the season opener.
Here are 8 takeaways that cover just about everything, from Cam Walker’s plans for the HURD to Ben Jacobson’s vision and the Aggies’ evolving rotation. https://t.co/BdS1DTvbk4
Utah State basketball closed exhibition play unbeaten with a blowout win over Santa Clara.
Mason Falslev had a huge game in his return, Connor Turnbull dominated in limited minutes, and the Aggies controlled the glass from start to finish. https://t.co/iCB39Rfeoq
Utah State basketball’s exhibition at Saint Mary’s felt more like an intense regular season battle.
With Mason Falslev sidelined, Kingston Tosi erupted for 22 points as the Aggies outlasted the Gaels in a fast-paced, physical test. https://t.co/jbqt57hHXa
@daltonkf68@BrynerNiner I think this is very well stated. It would be awesome if everyone stayed here the whole time but that just isn’t realistic. All who come become part of the legacy and should be appreciated. Those who stay have an added legacy and place among the greats. Gratitude for all.
@AggieUniTracker@USUBasketball I love it as an accent color. They look so sharp. Much better than when we try to force black onto our uniforms. Our dark navy doesn’t go well with black. The dark navy does look very good accented by the powder blue. As long as it is an accent and they don’t go overboard with it
@carsonfrostutah They had a very good chance to put it away and get the sweep themselves in that third set. Had a 3 point lead late. Still some growing to do. How different things look and feel if they have the composure to put the match away when they had the chance.
