Aggies vow that this is the season they'll halt their five-year basketball slide

The five-year trend clearly shows signs of a slide for the Utah State men’s basketball program leading into the 2017-18 season.

Utah State won 21 games in 2013 and that total has gently glided down — 21, 18, 18, 16 to 14 last year.

The current group of Aggies think a handful of close conference losses can be turned into wins and, in the Mountain West, that might just be enough.

In league play last year, which ended with a 7-11 record), Utah State narrowly lost twice (five points total) at home to Boise State as well once to San Diego State (four points) and a five-point defeat at Air Force.
