Utah State @ Boise State

Current Records: Utah State 15-12; Boise State 20-6

What to Know

The Utah State Aggies have been on the wrong side of a one-way rivalry with the Boise State Broncos and are hoping to record their first win since Feb. 8 of 2020. The Aggies and Boise State will face off in a Mountain West battle at 6 p.m. ET Saturday at ExtraMile Arena. Boise State should still be riding high after a big victory, while Utah State will be looking to right the ship.

The game between Utah State and the San Diego State Aztecs on Tuesday was not particularly close, with Utah State falling 75-56. One thing holding Utah State back was the mediocre play of forward Brandon Horvath, who did not have his best game: he finished with ten points on 3-for-10 shooting in his 33 minutes on the court.

Meanwhile, the Broncos took their matchup against the Air Force Falcons on Wednesday by a conclusive 85-59 score. Boise State got double-digit scores from four players: guard Marcus Shaver Jr. (20), guard Max Rice (14), center Lukas Milner (13), and forward Mladen Armus (10).

Utah State is expected to lose this next one by 4. Now might not be the best time to take Utah State against the spread since they've let down bettors for the past two consecutive games.

Utah State's loss took them down to 15-12 while Boise State's victory pulled them up to 20-6. Marcus Shaver Jr. will be someone to keep an eye on after he had 20 points in addition to five boards on Wednesday. Let's see if he can build on that strong performance or if Utah State's defense can bottle him up.
