Aggies on fire from deep in first half of Mountain West tournament
The first round of the Mountain West tournament got off to a rough start for the Utah State men’s basketball team as a combination of poor shooting and sloppy passing spotted the underdog Colorado State Rams a 15-point lead midway through the first half. The Aggies responded with a virtual flamethrower though, knocking down five straight 3-pointers to close the gap to just two points at halftime.
