LOGAN, Utah — Breaking down UNLV’s basketball game against Utah State at 3 p.m. PST on Saturday at the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum:
BACKCOURT
The Aggies made a change to their lineup in beating New Mexico on Wednesday, inserting freshman guard Sam Merrill for senior Shane Rector. Instant success. The 6-foot-4-inch Merrill had 13 points and eight assists, and when combined with senior Jalen Moore (6-9) and freshman Coby McEwen (6-4), gives Utah State three perimeter players with size. Moore ranks fourth in conference scoring (17.7 ppg) and McEwen 10th (14.1). UNLV continues to rank last in turnover margin and seventh in assists.
