LOGAN — As the Aggies’ 16-point lead started to evaporate late in Monday night’s game, Utah State head coach Tim Duryea did the only sensible thing by removing his suit coat as the Montana State Bobcats applied more and more heat.
Fortunately for USU fans, Duryea’s jacket only remained off for about two minutes of game time. The third-year coach slipped it back on with just over five seconds remaining as his team managed to rebuild a relatively comfortable advantage before the final whistle.
“I’d really like to keep the coat on,” Duryea said following his team’s 81-73 victory at the Smith Spectrum.
