Go Aggies!

Tonight marks an important match-up in the Western Athletic Conference. The Utah State Aggies will take on the Wolf Pack of the University of Nevada, Reno. Looking to spring to 20-1 on the season and a perfect 8-0 in WAC play, the Aggies will have to dig out the win against a tough 12-7, 2nd ranked Wolf Pack. Everybody come out to the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum at 7 p.m. tonight in support of our amazing Aggie basketball team! Here are some stats to take note of.
