As I pointed about in my game preview, Utah State’s success has largely been dependent on its 3-point shooting throughout the 2021-22 season.
On Saturday, that trend remained the same — though it combined with pulverizing, connected defense that rendered the Wolf Pack stymied and, ultimately, overwhelmed.
The Aggies, who sunk 10 3-pointers at a 37.0 percent clip, crushed the Nevada Wolf Pack 78-49 — Nevada’s worst home loss since joining the Mountain West prior to the 2012-13 season.
“I’ve been doing this a long time — I’ve been to Manchester, Missouri State, Iowa, New Mexico, UCLA — and that’s easily the most embarrased I’ve watched my team play,” Nevada head coach Steve Alford said after the game.
