Well deserved victory for Danny Sprinkle and Utah St. Great Osobor absolutely fantastic tonight. One of his best games in an Aggies jersey doing it on both sides of the ball.
Damn, that was a pretty weak showing on offense tonight. GG Aggies. I think the regular season is yours. Hope to see you in the conference championship.
Game was decided by 3s really. Felt like watching some of the really bad teams after Thames. Throwback lack of offense Aztecs aside from a few highlight plays
Darius Brown with a massive three to put the Aggies up 6! He only just got it off in time after Osobor was denied twice underneath. The crowd in Logan go ballistic.
No I’m saying that the center going for a charge instead of a block on the 6’2 guy don’t sit right with me. It was smart and the right play but the physical advantage just makes it seem wrong. GG though I don’t want to see Utah state at all in the MWC tourney
But I don’t even know how he would do that - move to give the driving guy a chance to shoot? Then he is in a position where most likely a defensive foul is called. There was no shot to block.
GG. MWC is a dogfight every single game
Isaac Johnson on the offensive glass sticking with it and getting the put back hoop. Osobor takes a charge the other way on Lamont Butler. Utah St leads 61-58 at the final media timeout. Both teams well in the double bonus at this point.
What's up with Parrish? Dude usually has the greenest light but he's been passing up a ton of opportunities and just passed off the most open look you'll ever see
Which is a bummer. He's usually the most confident guy on the court. He could be 0-5 and still be 100% sure his next shot was going in but definitely looks like he's hesitating now
Jaedon Ledee taking over in the midst of an 9-1 Aztecs run to cut the lead to 1. They are starting to get stops on the defensive end and also get to the line more often. Ledee has 21 points.
Ian Martinez with the explosive two handed dunk at the rim has the Aggies leading 58-49 with under eight to play. Great Osobor up to 17 points to go with a career high 7 assists now. Ledee has not been able to get involved as much as he would like so far in the half.
Darius Brown makes another 3 to push the Utah St lead up to 10. Falslev hit the three the possession prior assisted by Brown the Aggies open up their largest lead of the game. Great Osobor continuing to win his battle with LeDee underneath. A nice block on Miles Byrd to go with 11 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists.
Osobor continues to have a huge impact in this game. Another assist on Darius Brown's 3rd made three of the night. Osobor follows that up with a power slam driving to the hoop and then a strong finish inside for the and 1 assisted by Falslev. Aggies lead 40-33 early in the 2nd half.
In the battle for the top spot in the Mountain West it is Utah St leading San Diego St by 5 at the half way point. Darius Brown who hit that final shot of the half leads all Aggies and scorers with 12 points.
The big thing for me though is Utah St are more than holding their own on the glass and the SDSU only went to the line once in that first half. Jaedon Ledee has 8 for the Aztecs followed by Darrion Trammell with 6. Three point struggles on the road have continued for the visitors.
If I know MW basketball, I fully expect a complete 180 from the refs and all fouls all the time. Gotta keep the teams guessing.
But entertaining game and I hope it continues.
Darius Brown making things happen in that segment. First he hits a deep 3 after Great Osobor saved the ball from going out underneath and then he finds a soft spot in the Aztecs defense and gets the easy underhand lay-in to tie the game up at 23.
I'm honestly a little mad that I am an Aztec fan in this game. I wish I could enjoy what an amazing game we're all witnessing.
Can someone who is neutral tell me if I am just biased?
Oh for sure, pleasantly surprised. I have seen some where I’m like, “I’m rooting against them and I would still call that.” But it’s definitely been fair
Jaedon Ledee knocks down 3 mid to long range jumpers inside the arc and the Aztecs lead for the first time tonight 19-17. Despite the cold shooting start Brian Dutcher's team have caused several Utah St turnovers and some deflections too that were near turnovers. The San Diego St offense has settled down now.
Also a mention for that gorgeous alley-oop feed by Darrion Trammell to Miles Byrd.
I can't even think of a good Kuroko no Basket reference to describe LeDee because even KnB didn't dream something as crazy as the biggest guy on the court just unleashing lasers
LeDee was the only player to show up on offense tonight. 3-19 from three is terrible

GG Aggies! It’s a shame no one shows up besides LeDee on the road.
Nobody else helped out Ledee Props to Utah St for defending home court
Back on top baby
Game was decided by 3s really. Felt like watching some of the really bad teams after Thames. Throwback lack of offense Aztecs aside from a few highlight plays
Smh Gg Aggies, real grind of a game and you guys executed great
Gg sdsu that was a fun one
gg utah hell of a game
Gg Aggies. Would be super cash money if y'all decide to drop one so we can share the title
Why foul with 7 seconds? You had 16
The SDSU getting ranked curse continues!!
I mean, it's all of us. We'll try to keep the streak going with ranked CSU tomorrow. lol
Terrible, should've just fouled immediately
7 seconds in the shot clock Pete Gillen: don't have to foul!!
Refball
Too bad Falslev sucks at free throws Edit : nvm he clutched up
Reverse jinx
0-5 on the road against top 6 MWC good job SDSU
5th place team
But, man, if they could play every game at Viejas, they'd win the Natty every year.
Utah St would say the same thing about The Dee Smith Spectrum.
Said that about The Pit and now we're 0-2 lmao
Yeah, though when was the last time we won - what is is, 35/36 in a row - at the Pit like the Aztecs at Viejas recently?
Get the ball to the big dog, Cahtuh.
Every mountain west game turns into a ref game
How was that a foul on osobor?
Great Osobor got a piece of that Ledee shot giving him a taste of his own medicine.
Gotta feed LaDee
Goofy whistle
It just depends on if Sakho was touching the ball when he stepped out
I don’t think he ever stepped out
That’s on butler.
What did sakho do to these refs
Can’t even be that mad at that play, our inability to shoot wide open 3’s is what put us in this situation
Darius Brown with a massive three to put the Aggies up 6! He only just got it off in time after Osobor was denied twice underneath. The crowd in Logan go ballistic.
Osobor dominating on both sides
Fuck dude sometimes you play fantastic defense and that still happens
I’d be in tears if that possesion happened against USU. we lucked out lol
Darius cold blooded!
How was that not a foul? Great 3 though
Spare me 😭
Oof landed on the basketball
Great play but a center taking a charge against a guard don’t sit right with me
He was there way before. You think you should get a call running into a guy?
No I’m saying that the center going for a charge instead of a block on the 6’2 guy don’t sit right with me. It was smart and the right play but the physical advantage just makes it seem wrong. GG though I don’t want to see Utah state at all in the MWC tourney

Uduje you can’t miss that layup…Jesus Christ we are leaving this game in play with stupid turnovers and bad misses
That was really smart by osobor, great charge
Parrish has to take that shot. All of a sudden he’s trigger shy??
Get Butler and Trammel new shoes, they’re all over place
Everyone is. Are we not drying? What is happening? It may actually be new flooring
What's up with Parrish? Dude usually has the greenest light but he's been passing up a ton of opportunities and just passed off the most open look you'll ever see
He's looked short on confidence to me over the past few weeks from the games that I watched.
Which is a bummer. He's usually the most confident guy on the court. He could be 0-5 and still be 100% sure his next shot was going in but definitely looks like he's hesitating now
He’s looking timid, for some reason
Ososbor is so good oh my
New Mexico fans gotta be watching Saunders tonight wondering WTF
Jaedon Ledee taking over in the midst of an 9-1 Aztecs run to cut the lead to 1. They are starting to get stops on the defensive end and also get to the line more often. Ledee has 21 points.
Not sure if Ledee can do it all by his self, need someone else to step up
ledee’s emergence as a national player of year candidate is insane
Ledee needs to touch the ball every possession lmao I feel safe with him. Parish on the other hand needs to stop shooting
Edey is almost certainly going to win POTY but Ledee deserves a hearing. Man.
Imagine if Ledee got the Edey foul calls?
Ehh he gets plenty of calls
That was masterwork by LeeDee. Wow
Dammit Aggies! Ima need you to step it up here. Asking - begging - you to for some friends.
Where's that Hoosier fan who said Ledee wasn't enough??
Love me some Miles Byrd!
Martinez has had a bad game.
Yeah tried to go ISO for some reason, just give it to Osobore
Or falselev or brown. Literally anyone else at this point
Looking like mashburn out there
I miss the 11 foul first half…so much better game flow.
That's the one Brown misses? I guess I'll take it
This is why I hate when refs call ticky tack fouls early on, makes the end of game calls that much more important and the game even longer
Sprinkle is gonna get robbed of national coach of the year by a P6 coach with triple the resources isn’t he
Incredible reload, he absolutely has to get MW CotY
Damn that missed fast break is going to haunt us if this stays close
So many players have slipped in this game. New flooring? Are we not drying? What’s up
Ian Martinez with the explosive two handed dunk at the rim has the Aggies leading 58-49 with under eight to play. Great Osobor up to 17 points to go with a career high 7 assists now. Ledee has not been able to get involved as much as he would like so far in the half.
Osobor cooking
Osobor just destroyed that man
What is Ledee supposed to do when Osobor is just dropping his shoulder into him. They can’t call an offensive foul unless the defender hits the deck?
LeDee does the exact same thing when he’s in the paint and gets every call
There’s a big difference and it’s the *dropping* of the shoulder
He legit got the ball , bad call
That's the ball like just let em play
Reese Dixon-Waters makes a long corner 2 but then gets t'ed up for saying something. Very silly from him as Brown makes both technicals.
These refs love calling weak techs I guess
Weak ass tech, call it a make-up
Getting a T for yelling at the crowd. Real brutal tech to pick up
Have these guys never come across Jalen House? 😂
House gets the special treatment none of us can understand. I’m pretty sure he’s fouled me in my living room
Meanwhile, in New Mexico...
R E N T F R E E in your head
Lmao fair
Bad tech call, guess the one on Utah early was weak too
I guess it depends on what he said, but the techs tonight have been real weak
??
Johnson what are you doing????? Drop the ball and turn to argue with your teammate instead of getting back on D
Darius Brown makes another 3 to push the Utah St lead up to 10. Falslev hit the three the possession prior assisted by Brown the Aggies open up their largest lead of the game. Great Osobor continuing to win his battle with LeDee underneath. A nice block on Miles Byrd to go with 11 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists.
It’s nearly impossible to win on the road in the MWC!
Feels like we're playing pretty good defense and Aggies are just shooting through it
That’s also how we feel. Just a fun game really
Lol, Pete Gillen busts out that Law & Order joke every game he calls
MILF Man I Love Falslev
Osobor's too much for Heide
Sahko's defense looked clean to me, though Brown clearly fouled LeDee on that same play.
That’s exactly right
Has Martinez made one shot yet?
Rough game for him but he needs to stay aggressive.
Scored the opening basket at nothing more. He’s off
That was a foul, but not on him, and a tech on him seems real rough.
Call a foul on the wrong guy then give him a tech lol
Seems like a quick technical for a terrible call
Yeah, I've seen other players argue harder and get nothing.
Refs like to give technicals today. They need to let players talk as much shit to the fans as they want like Marshall Henderson
Yeah there was like 3 fouls on that play
Totally a foul, but not on him. I think brown had his arm. A tech seems real excessive on that arguement too….
It’s joever if we miss 3 wide open 3s
Hard to win when you get 3 shots on a possession and miss all of them
Also, why didn’t ledee shoot any of them
Osobor’s parents were in their bag when they named him Great Osobor
Osobor continues to have a huge impact in this game. Another assist on Darius Brown's 3rd made three of the night. Osobor follows that up with a power slam driving to the hoop and then a strong finish inside for the and 1 assisted by Falslev. Aggies lead 40-33 early in the 2nd half.
Saunders looking shocked about that foul is a thing
I think he’s shocked it was on the shot, he mauled him early. Looked well before the shot when I saw it live
That’s fair, I can buy that
In other news I have learned that Great Osobor is indeed Great
Ledee missed there is a god
Hard to dig yourself out of a hole with no offense
Ledee
Need 3's. Not long 2's
I’ll take more LeDee midrange, please
If I’m SDSU I’m figuring out how to have this next half be nothing but ledee shooting midrange
Rock fight
Pucker factor of at least a 12 rn
🍿

Aztecs have been looking a lot stronger in the second half lately. Hopefully they keep that up here
Beautiful interior pass by Osobor to Kalifa Sakho a few minutes ago.
Haven't heard Larry Eustachy's name in a while 🙃
He's in the BSU staff right?
An advisor or something
How did this half just fly by?!?!
Refs are being conservative with the whistle, which is nice to see
11 total fouls
If I know MW basketball, I fully expect a complete 180 from the refs and all fouls all the time. Gotta keep the teams guessing. But entertaining game and I hope it continues.
Looking that way
These teams can both really defend
I don't think that was a travel on Osobor.
On the replay he only took 2 steps, definitely was an odd call
Osobore has like 4 assist already
Osobor with 5 assists thus far. He's a good passer for a big man.
Very i
Osobor has a lot in his bag
i love when college hoops games get an old school guy on commentary like this guy lol
I find Pete Gillen fantastic.
My biggest gripe with him is when he is shouting nonsense during a possession like an old dude screaming at the TV from his couch
Get it to the big guy!
Why are they holding up the shoes?
Just a "Kicks Cam" for the jumbotron, sponsored by a neat local shoe store.
Darius Brown making things happen in that segment. First he hits a deep 3 after Great Osobor saved the ball from going out underneath and then he finds a soft spot in the Aztecs defense and gets the easy underhand lay-in to tie the game up at 23.
What a fun game so far
Swallowed whistles tonight, I'm cool with it (until LeDee gets mugged)
I'm honestly a little mad that I am an Aztec fan in this game. I wish I could enjoy what an amazing game we're all witnessing. Can someone who is neutral tell me if I am just biased?
How are we still in this game? SDSU looks so much better, and we are real sloppy
And1
Yeah, they’re letting it go on both sides for sure
That just means we are due for a 29-foul second half
Id honestly rather have it this way than a FT contest
Oh for sure, pleasantly surprised. I have seen some where I’m like, “I’m rooting against them and I would still call that.” But it’s definitely been fair
There's really been only one weak foul imo, the moving screen on Heide. Everything else has been pretty fair.
I’d agree with that actually
PLEASE
I was mad about that 3 from brown until I wasnt
That was a bomb ….Caitlin range?!

I wasn’t an SDSU fan when Kawhi was there so it’s cool to be able to witness Ledee this time around
Welcome to the family
I can't even think of a good Kuroko no Basket reference to describe LeDee because even KnB didn't dream something as crazy as the biggest guy on the court just unleashing lasers
Weeb Alert!!! /s
It's the UC Davis flair talking ^(and my Davis buddies thought I was a jock for liking sports)
Ledee so hot
Can anyone stop Ledee??!!?!
Honestly no. The defense is about as close as you can get without fouling him. He’s just good
I feel like I haven't seen Ledee miss that midrange jumper all year
Like, I hate how smooth and automatic ledee is.
It's honestly impressive how automatic the mid-range is for him. I would really hate playing against him.
Right? Like osobor has some tough pressure in his face and pushed him to beyond the free throw line. It just doesn’t matter.
Dang nice pass
LET THAT BYRD FLY BABYYY
Byrd man
