Utah State basketball: Aggies must weigh scoring punch versus need for size, rebounding

The Aggies have scored less than 70 points in three of their past four games, and they've lost all three of those contests, meanwhile, they've also outscored opponents in the paint in each of their past four games. Their post production underscores a need for more scoring punch from the perimeter.

While freshman guard Koby McEwen leads all conference freshmen in scoring (14.4 points per game), and his classmate Sam Merrill leads the conference in assist/turnover ratio (3.0), their efficiency has decreased when facing conference opponents for a second time.

McEwen has shot 46.3 percent (39.3 percent on 3-pointers) from the floor overall this season, but he has averaged 11 points per game and shot 32 percent from the floor (28 percent on 3-pointers) in six games against teams facing him for the second time.
