Who's Playing

No. 25 Utah State (home) vs. Fresno State (away)

Current Records: Utah State 8-1; Fresno State 2-5

What to Know

The Fresno State Bulldogs will square off against the #25 Utah State Aggies at 6 p.m. ET on Saturday at Dee Glen Smith Spectrum. Fresno State is limping into the game on a three-game losing streak.

The Bulldogs needed just one more bucket to secure the win, but they couldn't get it done before the clock hit zeroes and lost 81-80. They got double-digit scores from four players: G Noah Blackwell (18), G Mustafa Lawrence (16), F Nate Grimes (12), and F Orlando Robinson (12).

Meanwhile, in a sloppy game that saw the teams combine for 20 turnovers, Utah State took down the San Jose State Spartans 71-59. The Aggies can attribute much of their success to F Justin Bean, who posted a double-double on 18 points and 14 boards.

The Bulldogs are the clear underdogs, so they're hoping it's the size of the fight that determines this one. Now might not be the best time to take the Bulldogs against the spread since they've let down bettors for the past three consecutive games.

The Bulldogs found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unpleasant 85-60 punch to the gut against the Aggies when the two teams last met in March. The defeat knocked Fresno State out of the playoffs, so expect them to come at Utah State with a vengeful fire.
