Aggie Basketball: Utah State Plays Washington In … Ohio?

After a stunning season in which the Aggies found themselves as co-Regular Season Champs and winners of the Mountain West Conference Tournament, they now find themselves as an eight-seed (their highest seeding in the NCAA tournament ever) in Columbus, Ohio. They’ll take on the ninth-seeded Washington Huskies in the Midwest Region, the winner facing either 1-seed North Carolina or 16-seed Iona (never say never, look what happened with UMBC last year).

Let’s take a look at their upcoming matchup:

The Aggies will have to work harder than usual for every basket against Washington, as the UW defense has been elite at taking the ball away, amongst other categories.
