Coming off thrilling win, No. 22 Utah State heads to UNLV

No. 22 Utah State looks to continue its unbeaten start in Mountain West play on Wednesday when it travels to Las Vegas for a matchup against struggling UNLV. Utah State (16-1, 6-0 MW) is coming off a thrilling win against Boise State on Saturday night, as Ian Martinez converted a go-ahead four-point play with seven seconds remaining to secure an 81-79 victory. The finish was reminiscent of Utah State's 87-86 win at UNLV last January, when Great Osobor completed a five-point play with eight seconds remaining to thwart a Runnin' Rebels upset attempt. The Aggies may have lost coach Danny Sprinkle and Osobor -- last season's Mountain West Player of the Year -- to Washington, but they still have that late-game magic that carried them to a regular-season conference title a season ago.
