New look Aggie offense has left little to be desired but leaves a few questions unanswered.
When the Aggies took the court this past fall, uncertainty very much dictated how the season would play out. The ever-present threat of a season cancellation looming in the all-too-clear memory of the pandemic ravaging last year’s NCAA tournament and this year’s football season. Travel was all but guaranteed to be a logistical nightmare and infection rates seemed committed to causing last minute schedule changes. And of course, this was the first time in eight years that Utah State started a season without someone on the roster named Jalen Moore or Sam Merrill.
Derrick Alston had 23 points, Mladen Armus added 13 points, nine rebounds and three assists, and Boise State wrapped up the home sweep 81-77 at Extra Mile Arena in Boise, Idaho.
