Backcourt duo lead Utah State past San Jose State in conference opener

Logan • Slow starts have happened more than a couple of times for Utah State this season, but maybe coach Tim Duryea knew something good was going to happen for the conference opener against San Jose State on Wednesday night.

“We had a couple of spirited practices over the holidays, which you don’t always get, and I think that carried over to tonight,” Duryea said.

“We had a job at stopping number 32 (Ryan Welage) and they were trying to give him the ball. I was trying to not let him grab it,” said Brito, a 6-foot-5 sophomore from Portugal, who scored 11 points.
