LOGAN — Utah State got a career-high 32 points from Koby McEwen and scored 30 more points than they did in last month’s loss at Reno, but it still wasn’t enough to knock off the 24th-ranked Nevada Wolf Pack Saturday night at the Spectrum.

“I tip my hat to Nevada. They were tremendous. That's as hard a team to defend as I've seen come through here in a long time,” Aggie head coach Tim Duryea said after Nevada’s 93-87 victory.
