SALT LAKE CITY — Coming into the season, the Aggies knew they would have to count on their heralded backcourt of Koby McEwen and Sam Merrill if they were going to be successful.
So, considering that McEwen and Merrill combined to go 2 for 14 from the floor and totaled just six points, it’s hardly a surprise that Utah State lost to Utah Saturday night at Vivint Arena.
And yet, thanks to a stunning 57 points from USU’s bench, the Aggies were still somehow able to make the contest competitive, even after falling behind 19-2 to open the first game of the inaugural Beehive Classic.
