Utah State basketball cites lack of discipline, toughness, character in three-game slide

The Utah State basketball team has hit the mother of all rough patches, losing three consecutive games for the first time since before Craig Smith became coach last season. The Aggies have scored less than 70 points in each of the those games, and shot a paltry 24.1% from the 3-point line.

The losing streak is a stark departure from where the Aggies were just before then: winners of six of their last seven games and prevailing in close games. Now USU has the same number of conference losses as it did all of last season, and there’s still 13 games remaining in the regular season.
