Former Husker Ubel Grateful For First Year As GA At Utah State
Brandon Ubel didn't fully know what to expect in his role as a graduate manager for the Utah State men's basketball team.
Suffice it to say, the good far outweighed the bad in 2019-20 for Ubel, the former Nebraska forward who was dipping his toes into the coaching world for the first time.
"It was awesome," Ubel said. "You can't do much better than winning your conference championship."
Ubel was referring to the Mountain West Conference Tournament, where Utah State upset No. 6 San Diego State in the finals. That secured the Aggies' second straight conference tourney title and automatic berth into the NCAA Tournament under second-year coach Craig Smith, the former Nebraska assistant.
