LOGAN — The Aggies’ veteran players are well aware of the potential for an upset Thursday night at the Mountain West Men’s Basketball Championship. After all, a year ago they were the No. 7 seed that delivered the knockout blow to second-seeded Boise State at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.

While first-year head coach Craig Smith wasn’t around for that stunning win over the Broncos, he is still very familiar with the potential for an upset as the No. 2-seeded Aggies (25-6) gear up to play the seventh-seeded New Mexico Lobos (14-17) Thursday in the quarterfinals.
