The game will mark the first meeting between the two teams, however, Utah State has won 16 of its last 17 exhibition games, dating back to the season. Things Of Note Utah State men s basketball is entering its 112th season and has an overall record of 1,552-1,074 (.591) in its 2,626 games played. Utah State has recorded a winning record each of the past 23 seasons, dating back to the season. Furthermore, USU has had a winning record within the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum for 34 consecutive seasons. Senior wing Jalen Moore was named preseason all- MW going into the season. Senior wing Jalen Moore has garnered several preseason honors, including being named to the 2017 Julius Erving Small Forward of the Year Watch List, an award given to the most outstanding small forward in the nation. Moore is one of only 20 small fowards in the nation appearing on the initial watch list. Also, Moore was named Preseason all-mountain West, the first preseason award for an Aggie since Utah State joined the league for the season. Moore enters the year just 45 points away from overtaking his father, Jimmy, on the all-time scoring records at USU. Furthermore, Moore is on track to etch his name on the Utah State record book in rebounding, assists, 3-point field goals, games played, games started and minutes. Freshman guard Koby McEwen also earned preseason recognition from the Mountain West, earning Preseason Co-Freshman of the Year alongside San Diego State s Jalen McDaniel. Utah State s roster includes only four returners from last season, matching the lowest returning number since the season. That year, USU finished tied for fourth in the Mountain West and recorded the most wins (11) by any second-year program in the history of the league.

Looking at Utah State Utah State men s basketball will feature a roster brimming with new talent in as the Aggies welcome in 10 newcomers to a roster with one returning redshirt and four returning letterwinners. Headlining the group of returners is senior wing Jalen Moore, who has led the team in scoring and rebounding each of the past two seasons. Moore became the 37th in school history to eclipse 1,000 career points, ending the campaign with 1,119 after averaging 15.2 points per game. In addition to his scoring, Moore earned the Chairman of the Boards award after leading the Aggies with 6.0 rebounds per game. Moore is slated to play the three throughout the year for Utah State, a move that second-year head coach Tim Duryea said will only help the senior in the future. Our goal this year is to play Jalen at his natural position, which is the three, Duryea said. I expect him to excel in all phases of the game, from rebounding the ball, to scoring and his shooting percentages. I see him improving in all of those things, playing at a position where his future is as a basketball player. Senior guard Shane Rector returns and will direct the Aggies at the point, having excelled in a pair of starts at the Mountain West Tournament at the end of the last season, averaging 17.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.5 assists over the two-game stretch. Julion Pearre is another guard with a wealth of experience, having played in every game with the Aggies since his arrival in Logan. Pearre finished the season with four straight double-digit scoring outings and finished the year averaging 8.0 points per game. The final returner for the Aggies is sophomore forward Quinn Taylor, who played in all but one game for the Aggies last season after completing a two-year LDS Church Mission in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Taylor entered the year as a walk-on, but earned a scholarship following his determined play on the court, averaging 4.2 points and 3.7 rebounds per game. In addition to the four returners, the Aggies bring in 10 newcomers and a group that is being regarded as one of the top recruiting classes at Utah State. Headlining the group is four-star guard Koby McEwen, a 6-3 guard from Wasatch Academy (Utah), who led the Tigers to 29-4 record as a senior, averaging 18.7 points, 4.6 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game. Joining him on the guard line is Sam Merrill, returning from and LDS Church Mission in Nicaragua. Merrill, a 6-4 guard, led Bountiful (Utah) High School to a state championship as a senior, scoring 23 points in the championship game. Over the course of his prep career, Merrill was named first-team all-state as a junior and senior as well as the Region 6 MVP as a junior. Portuguese international Diogo Brito will join the team fresh off an appearance with Portugal in the U-20 FIBA World Championships, leading the team with 10.8 points per game. The last addition to the guards is Abel Porter, also returning from an LDS Church Mission, who was an all-state performer at Davis (Utah) High School. Along with a talented group of guards, Utah State added four post players that are all 6-foot-8 or taller. Tallest among the group is Snow College transfer Norbert Janicek, measuring in at Janicek will have three years to play for the Aggies after earning first-team all-scenic West Ath- Utah State Men s Basketball Southern Virginia (Exhibition) November 4, Statistical Breakdown What comes back for the Aggies in Points (1,131/2,274) % Rebounds (429/1,107) % Offense (99/319) % Defense (330/788) % Minutes (2,977/6,200) % Assists (254/454) % Steals (90/170) % Blocks (33/81) % FG made (413/802) % 3-point FG made (115/257) % FT made (190/413) %

Klay Stall will be the youngest of the post players in both age and development, after missing his senior year at Basha (Ariz.) High School because of a knee injury. As a junior, Stall averaged a double-double of 11.8 points and 11.4 rebounds per game en route to being named honorable mention all-arizona Division I.

Aggies Picked Sixth In Mountain West Utah State men s basketball was selected sixth in the annual preseason Mountain West men s basketball poll. The prediction is the highest for the Aggies since joining the Mountain West and highest since USU was selected to win the Western Athletic Conference in its final season in the league during the season. Scouting Southern Virginia Southern Virginia, a Division-III school in Buena Vista, Va., returns two starters from a squad that finished the year 9-17 overall. The Knights are similar to the Aggies, in that SVU returns only four letterwinners from last season.

Senior forward Justin Langford started in all but one game for the Knights last season, averaging 6.8 points and 2.7 rebounds per game. Other returners include junior center Cale Thornton (6.2 ppg/3.7 rpg) and sophomore guard Kellen Winslow (0.8 ppg, 0.4 ppg). Overall, SVU averaged 70.9 points per game, while shooting 41.9 percent (650-of- 1,551) from the floor, 28.5 percent (129-of-453) from behind the 3-point line and 73.0 percent (414-of-567) from the free throw line.

Utah State was its own worst enemy during the game, committing 19 turnovers on the night and shooting just 20.6 percent (7-of-34) in the first half. The Aggies dug themselves in a hole early, missing their opening three shots until sophomore forward David Collette broke the funk with a put-back dunk. However, more bad luck followed as Utah State shot 1-for-6 over its next few possessions, opening the door for the Otters to take a double-digit lead, 17-7, with 14:19 to play. Junior transfer guard Shane Rector converted a pair of free throws with 8:18 on the clock to cut the margin four, 21-17, but CSUMB countered with an 11-0 run to take a lead with 5:16 remaining in the first half. The margin grew to 16 for the Otters after a successful 3-pointer with 1:08 on the clock, but senior guard Chris Smith answered with a three of his own to put the score at going into the break. Utah State made the most of its chances at the free throw line during the opening 20 minutes, converting more from the charity stripe (11-of-13) than from the field (7-of-34). Smith s closing 3-point bucket was the Aggies only of the half, converting just 1-for-14 from long range. Utah State found a better shooting groove in the second half, converting 50 percent (13-of-26) over the final 20 minutes. The Aggies trimmed the margin to single digits, 50-42, with 12:19 to play on a Collette layup, but it was answered on the other end by a CSUMB jumper. The same scenario played over the next two possessions as the Otters maintained their 10-point lead, 56-46, with 10:39 to play. The Aggies missed opportunities over the next two minutes, missing the front end of three consecutive 1-and-1 s as CSUMB stretched the lead to 14, 63-49, with 6:58 remaining. Utah State made a push with just under five minutes remaining, trimming a 14-point Otter lead to seven, 65-58, behind five points from Collette and a basket by senior guard Darius Perkins. Cal State Monterey Bay, once again, answered and closed out the game with a 12-2 run, punctuating the victory for the visitors. Collette led all players with 22 points, shooting 8-of-13 from the floor and 6-of-9 from the charity stripe. Smith was the only other Aggie with double digits, turning in 10 points. Junior wing Jalen Moore led both teams with eight rebounds, adding six points, two steals and one assist. Overall, Utah State shot 33.3 percent (20-of-60) from the floor, including 18.2 percent (4-of-22) from behind the 3-point line, while shooting 66.7 percent (16-of-24) from the free throw line. Cal State Monterey Bay was led by four double-digit scorers, including senior guard Ryan Nitz (17), junior guard Evan Zeller (15), senior wing Alex Fertig (14) and junior guard Mateo Jones (10). The Otters shot 46.8 percent (29-of-62) from the floor, 38.9 percent (7-of-18) from behind the 3-point line and 85.7 percent (12-of-14) from the free throw line.

Aggie Debut Rector made his USU debut against Weber State in the season opener, finishing third on the team with 15 points and leading the team with five assists and three steals in 32 minutes of action.
