Preview: Fresno State Bulldogs at Utah State Aggies LOGAN, Utah (Interstat) — Two Mountain West women’s basketball teams on divergent trajectories will meet Sunday when the Fresno State Bulldogs visit the Utah State Aggies at the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum. The Bulldogs (12-13, 7-5 MW) enter with momentum, having won three consecutive games and four of their last five to climb above .500 in conference play. Their most recent outing was a 75-69 home victory over Boise State on Wednesday, fueled by 22 points from guard Danae Powell. Fresno State’s offense has found its rhythm during this stretch, averaging 75 points per game in the three wins. Utah State (6-17, 1-11), meanwhile, looks to halt a seven-game skid. The Aggies fell 71-60 to UNLV at home on Feb. 7 in their last contest. Their lone conference win this season came against San Jose State on Jan. 14. Defense has been a persistent struggle; they have allowed 73 or more points in five of their last six losses. This matchup is a rematch from Jan. 14, when Fresno State dominated Utah State 86-56 in Fresno. The Bulldogs shot 50% from the field in that rout. A key matchup will feature Fresno State’s Danae Powell against Utah State’s Jamisyn Heaton. Powell, the Bulldogs’ dynamic guard, is averaging 15.1 points per game in conference play and is coming off her season-high 22-point performance. For the Aggies, Heaton provides a scoring spark, as evidenced by her 20-point effort against UNLV. Her production will be critical for a team that has averaged just 52.4 points during its losing streak. Fresno State will aim to continue its push up the Mountain West standings and solidify its positioning for the conference tournament. Utah State seeks a reset on its home floor, where it is 4-7 this season, to build confidence for the final stretch. The game is scheduled for a 2 p.m. MST tip-off on Sunday, Feb. 15, 2026.
