College basketball: Utah State crushes Panhandle State in exhibition opener

Logan • A year ago, Utah State was inexperienced, lacked proven prime-time players and only hoped it could piece together a successful season.

Today?

Everything's changed.

The Aggies have five returning starters on the roster, a much deeper bench and high expectations. They even have a new coach, with long-time assistant Tim Duryea replacing Stew Morrill, who retired.

Utah State unveiled its new look Saturday night, when the Aggies cruised to an 87-48 exhibition victory over Panhandle (Okla.) State in front of 8,749 fans at the Spectrum.

Junior forward Jalen Moore scored 19 points to lead the Aggies, who shot 54.
