Utah State men's basketball: Aggies' game vs. Union a family affair

Utah State men’s basketball » Thanks to basketball matchup, USU football coach Matt Wells gets to see his sister, brother-in-law

Logan • Utah State plays little Union University on Friday night at the Spectrum.

Call it a family affair.

Last summer, Aggie basketball coach Tim Duryea was returning from a booster event. Football coach Matt Wells was there, too, and they started talking.

During the conversation, Wells told Duryea that his brother-in-law, David Niven, coached basketball at a Division II school in Jackson, Tenn.

It also turned out that Wells' sister, Mandy, had never been to Logan for a football game since Wells' became Utah State's head coach in 2013.
