Prediction:
USU 76 BYU 72
My favorite team of course is any team playing the Y.
Go True Blue Of Utah
Hammer Dunk the Y
Go Aggies
Cougs win this one going away by 10 for one reason, fan base. BYU fans cheer on Ute and Aggie teams when they are playing anyone else but the Cougs. Utah State fans are either rabid Aggie fans or have split loyalties between USU and BYU. I saw USU fans at the BYU-USU football game cheering on both teams.
Even if the tickets at ESA are split in half, you will see a decidedly more pro-BYU crowd at the game which will make this more of a home game for BYU. Sorry Aggies, again Cougs by 10.
I am looking forward to seeing the Ag's play as I have heard a lot about them but haven't seen them play since last year.
I hope the threes are falling for Jimmer, Jackson and Jonathan. If they are, the Coug's should have a good chance.
Go Cougs!!! Go Snow!!!
Go Cougars!
Gooooo COUGARS!
Same thing will happen..they will play a good team and get smoked.
Go Cougars!
As a former front row student section every week for three years, I know the Aggie fans will be out in force.
The key to this game will be the Aggie guard play. The Aggie big men will do their part, and the Byu shooters will likely get it going, so it may come down to Tyler Newbold and the other Aggie guards.
GO AGGIES!!!!
GO AGGIES!
