Logan • A radio call of Wednesday’s Utah State-Air Force game would likely have included several superlatives about the Aggies backcourt of sophomores Sam Merrill and Koby McEwen.
Merrill canning a 3-pointer to start the second half, for instance, and McEwen throwing up a blind reverse layup that was good. Merrill stepping into the paint and swatting away an Air Force shot. McEwen making a shot and slide-diving into the cheerleading section.
Everything, except maybe that last one, was just the kind of script Utah State needed to execute as the Aggies stopped a four-game losing streak with a 71-49 win over Air Force in a Mountain West conference game.
