Utah State put the finishing touches on their tenth blowout victory of the season on Saturday. Everything went their way against the Broncos as the Aggies made off with a 80-61 win. Winning is a bit easier when you work as a team to rack up 11 more assists than your opponent, as Utah State did.

Meanwhile, the Cowboys ended up a good deal behind the Lobos last Tuesday and lost 91-73. The loss unfortunately continues a disappointing trend for Wyoming in their matchups with the Lobos: they've now lost three in a row.
Despite their loss, Wyoming saw several players rise to the challenge and make noteworthy plays. Brendan Wenzel, who scored 20 points along with five rebounds, was perhaps the best of all. Sam Griffin was another key contributor, scoring 19 points along with five rebounds.

Everything went Utah State's way against the Cowboys in their previous matchup back in January as the Aggies made off with a 83-59 victory.
