Perhaps it was the uniforms from the 80s or the rowdy students that showed up with it snowing outside.Whatever it was, the Aggies came ready to play Wednesday night at the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum against Wyoming.
The Utah State men's basketball team trailed in the very early going, but quickly scored 13 straight points and just kept adding to the lead on Stew Morrill Court.The Aggies rolled to a 94-62 Mountain West Conference victory in front of an announced crowd of 10,270 — the third sellout this season."I'm really proud of our guys' effort tonight," USU head coach Jerrod Calhoun said.

That's team basketball."Yes, it is.Seven different Aggies had multiple assists in the game.King was joined by four teammates in double-digit scoring in Garry Clark , MJ Collins Jr. , Mason Falslev and Tucker Anderson . King also led the team in rebounding with a game-high seven boards.
