Logan • The Utah State men’s basketball team came out like a team that couldn’t afford to lose four in a row.
Not only did the Aggies (14-6, 3-3 Mountain West) beat the Nevada Wolf Pack (10-7, 3-2 MW) on Saturday, they did so in convincing fashion with a 80-70 result that wasn’t as close as the final score suggested. Nevada never led and trailed by as many as 18.
Sophomore center Neemias Queta led the Aggies with 19 points on 8-of-12 shooting and seven rebounds, while senior guard Sam Merrill contributed an all-around game of 12 points, eight rebounds and eight assists despite a difficult shooting night.
