LOGAN – Following a two-day investigation into a controversial series of events after the Nevada at Utah State basketball Saturday night at the Spectrum, the Mountain West announced Monday that the conference found no fault in how Utah State University handled the storming of the court after the Aggies’ 81-76 upset of the Wolf Pack.
“Rather, inappropriate conduct by individuals from both programs in the postgame handshake line and subsequently in the locker room areas created the unfortunate circumstances,” the Mountain West’s statement declared.
Due to fans converging on the court after the victory that vaulted Utah State (24-6, 14-3) into first place, following the postgame handshake line Nevada coaches and players were led up the Spectrum tunnel normally reserved for the home team.
