It’s Tuesday night. It’s dinner time. It’s the week the Utah State Aggies are back in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2011 and Craig Smith is going on and on about how his team has been living on the edge for nearly five months, about toeing that line between bubble burster and conference champs, about Sam Merrill’s inability to care about anything other than winning, about Diogo Brito not pouting over a bench role that has changed the fortunes of these Aggies, about Quin Taylor, who Smith calls, “The Godfather.”
Smith doesn’t stop.
