Preview: Utah State Looks to Rebound Against Colorado State FORT COLLINS, Colo. (Interstat) — The Utah State Aggies aim to steady themselves after a rare skid when they visit the Colorado State Rams in a Mountain West Conference men’s basketball clash Friday night at Moby Arena. Utah State (15-3, 4-2 MW) arrives having dropped two straight after a 10-game winning streak, including a 76-86 home loss to UNLV on Tuesday. The Aggies’ high-powered offense, which averages over 83 points per game, was held below 80 in both defeats. The Rams (12-7, 3-3), coming off an 81-52 rout of Air Force, seek a statement win to bolster their conference standing. They will need to contain Utah State guard Mason Falslev, who has been a consistent force. Falslev is averaging over 20 points per game in his last seven contests, including a 26-point performance in a win over Nevada on Jan. 14. Colorado State’s Kyle Jorgensen will be a key facilitator. The guard is coming off a well-rounded effort against Air Force with 9 points, 4 assists and 2 blocks. History heavily favors the Aggies, who demolished the Rams 100-58 in Logan just over a month ago on Dec. 20. Utah State dominated that game from the opening tip, shooting 56% from the field. For Colorado State, protecting home court is critical. The Rams are 9-2 at Moby Arena this season, with notable non-conference wins over Colorado and Grand Canyon. Their defense, allowing just 66.5 points per game at home, will be tested by Utah State’s efficient attack. The matchup pits Utah State’s potent scoring against Colorado State’s resilient home defense. An Aggie victory would reassert their title credentials, while a Rams win would provide a crucial Quadrant 1 resume boost and signal their capability to compete with the league’s best. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. MST.
