Utah State has taken some lumps in February, going 2-3 in their last 5 games with all three losses by 14 points or more. But this is a fantastic opportunity for Danny Sprinkle’s group to get back on track facing a San Diego State team that has basically played all of the Mountain West’s best teams in the last month. Five of SDSU’s last six games have been against teams competing for NCAA Tournament spots, including an 81-67 win against this Utah State team back on Feb. 3. The Aggies have one of the best home court advantages in the country and with bubble-powered urgency in the air I think they get the win.

The default recommendation in games between Mountain West contenders this season has been to go with the home side So, let’s see if the Danny Sprinkle’s Utags can do a Jannik Sinner and hold serve at Logan tonight after getting eliminated in straight sets at Colorado State on Saturday. The home/road splits for the Aztecs in Mountain West play are rather illuminating, especially when facing the upper tier of the loop; Brian Dutcher’s boys have already lost and failed to cover at New Mexico, Boise State, Colorado State, and Nevada, and for good measure didn’t cover at San Jose State, either (only at bottom-feeder Air Force have the Aztecs covered a road conference game this term).
