Utah State lost two players who combined for 31 points, 16 rebounds and five assists per game for last season’s 18-16 squad. They had three starters return and added key contributors such as Taylor Funk, a graduate transfer from St. Joseph’s, and Ukrainian sharpshooter Max Shulga. Those players have catapulted Utah State to a 10-1 record (7-3 ATS). The Aggies shoot 50.3% from the field and lead the nation in 3-point shooting at 44.2%. Their average score is 86-70.
