LOGAN — Although the Utah State basketball team’s recent road trip certainly wasn’t as long as his two-year mission to Nicaragua, Aggie guard Sam Merrill did note, “I had a similar feeling when we flew back into Salt Lake.”
“That was a long trip,” the sophomore from Bountiful added following practice Friday afternoon. “We played short-handed, and I felt like we gave away a game or two. But I think we learned some important things, and hopefully that will help us going forward.”
The Aggies (4-4), who host Brigham Young (5-2) Saturday night, haven’t played at the Spectrum since routing Mississippi Valley State 83-47 on Nov.
