As the saying goes, whatever happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. Unfortunately, the NCAA selection committee doesn’t see it that way.
On a night where the offense looked completely disoriented, Utah State men’s hoops (12-5) shot their worst field goal percentage of the season (32.8) and fell to UNLV (6-6) 59 to 56, – a major set back for a team with aspirations for a conference championship and an at-large birth in the NCAA tournament.
Down 57-48 with 1:17 to play, the Aggies went on an 8-2 run in a desperate attempt to come back, but a final heave by Steven Ashworth was blocked at the buzzer.
