LOGAN — It could have ended up like a horror movie for the Aggies.
But after going into halftime tied with 10th place Wyoming, Utah State “flipped the script” thanks to a “monster jump” in defensive effort during the second half, according to head coach Craig Smith.
“They shot 60.9 percent in the first half, and sometimes that means you need to make adjustments and other times that means you just need to adjust your mindset,” Smith said following Utah State’s 76-59 victory Wednesday night at the Spectrum.
