Utah State uses 3s to beat UNLV, 79-63
LOGAN, Utah — The chilly temperatures outside — things rarely moved above 3 degrees most of Saturday — certainly didn’t translate into cooling off Utah State’s basketball team.
One of the Mountain West’s best shooting sides sent UNLV home a loser from distance, making 13 3-pointers en route to a 79-63 victory at the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum.
The loss dropped UNLV to 8-9 overall and 1-3 in conference, while Utah State improved to 8-7 and 2-2.
Koby McEwen, just a freshman, scored 28 for the Aggies while making 5-of on 3s.
Senior forward Christian Jones led the Rebels with 17 points and five rebounds.
