Utah State Aggies

[theeagleman5]

Utah State is averaging 86 points a game and hard to believe with our lack of D that the Aggies won't put up a 90 spot on ORU tonight.....we will need to shoot very well to compete and can't fall way behind early as mentioned above....TheEagleman is a glass half full kinda guy but hard to see the Good Guys having a shot to win this one....can we win?...Possibly but it would take by far our best effort of the season and Max might need to put up 40....and we haven't seen one of those nights from him in quite a while since teams always hound him......hoping it's a quality game but have to say  UTAH STATE  91  ORU 78.........

[Old Titan]

Still not seeing enough defense from ORU's standpoint to suggest any upset is possible.

Giving up an average of almost 75 points a game on 41% opponent shooting (with 40% of your schedule vs. non-D1's at home) is NOT good.

Aggies, 88-74.   #TrustTheProcess

ORU NEEDS A BIG EFFORT FROM MAX AND A WIN.....LET'S GO BLUE!!!

Added perk:  also appears it will be available after the fact On Demand, for those unable to watch Tuesday night (or unable to stay awake on the east coast, like theeagleman5...)

Just arrived in Logan for tonight’s game.   Beautiful sunny day with snow caps on the nearby mountain peaks.  This will be a tough environment for ORU to play, but I also expect (thankfully) a smaller crowd with students on Thanksgiving Break.  Hoping to see ORU put two good halves together, and to see Max get in a three point rhythm early (and often) in the game.
 

I’ll compile some thoughts from the game and post tonight or tomorrow.  Go EAGLES!

I'm an Aggie fan coming in peace. The stream is free. In addition to watching it on the USU website, you can install the Mountain West app on your mobile device, Roku, GoogleTV or AppleTV device to watch. USU also streams their home games live on YouTube for those that prefer using an app they likely already have. You can watch it here:

 

Looking forward to tonight's game.

Welcome, ProvoAggie, and thanks for the info!!

With all due respect to Ernesto, here's hoping this was NOT the team's pregame meal...   #SeleccioneSuCarne

Golden Eagles hanging tough despite horrible play from Phipps and Abmas (not a typo).

29-21 Aggies 7:30 to go in the first half

[Old Titan]

Good guys hanging around, down 9 at the break.  Aggies shooting lights out from three (11-of-16).

 

[Texasgrip]

Missing 3s and layups...ouch.

[Old Titan]

Cut the lead to 2, but Aggies torrential from three:  16 treys with over 5:00 left; their school record for a game is 20. 

Utah State by 8; 5:48 left. 

[OKC Eagle]

Unbelievable 3 point shooting by Utah St.  Most of them have either been long or contested. You just have to tip your hat to them. 

[#1ORUFAN]

6 years and still no 3 point defensive strategy.  

[ManiacAlum]

Criminally bad flopping call on Mwamba in the lane with the game tied 77-77. 

The call was fine but the officials wait to blow the whistle two passes later after a made Utah State 3-pointer, making it a 4 pt play.

Aggies go on a 10-0 run and there's your ballgame. 

[Keenan Henderson]

ORU is improving and had the game tied with three minutes to go.  Hard to finish out those road wins.  The defense did force some turnovers early, which was good to see.  Utah State is such a great passing team and they usually find the open three point shooters, the Eagles could learn from that.

 

[theeagleman5]

Good Guys played tough but USU 3 point shooting just outta sight. Not an unexpected result....giving up 95 not a recipe for victory.....

[eagle88]

Utah State is a good 3 point shooting team but we don’t defend the 3 hardly at all. We make their 3 point shooters look like NBA All Stars! Part of it is our small guards Abmas, McBride and Phipps can’t match up defensively. 
Overall we played ok and hung in there. Good effort from Vanover, Jurgens and McBride. We need Max to hit his stride quickly!
