LOGAN — Like interim Colorado State head coach Jase Herl, Utah State head coach Tim Duryea was born in Kansas and served as the head coach of a junior college program in the Sunflower State, in addition to spending time in Fort Collins as an assistant coach for the Rams.
But that’s pretty much where the similarities end as No. 7 seed Utah State (15-16 overall, 8-10 in the Mountain West) and No. 10 seed Colorado State (11-20, 4-14) prepare to face off at 2:30 p.m. MST Wednesday in the first round of the Mountain West Men’s Basketball Tournament in Las Vegas.
