LOGAN — Are they technically still in-state rivals when they haven’t faced off against each other in seven years?

The Aggies (5-5) and Utes (6-2) will find out Saturday night when they play for the first time since the 2010-11 season during the Beehive Classic at Vivint Smart Home Arena. Current Utah State head coach Tim Duryea was an assistant under Stew Morrill the last time the Aggies battled Utah, but Friday afternoon he struggled to remember any details of USU’s 79-62 victory at the Spectrum.
