Utah State basketball: Aggies happy to be heading to Boise

I believe you're in a similar circumstance to BYU. You're seeding will improve after you demonstrate you can win in the Big Dance. We're both after the Gonzaga model. They started by getting upsets in the NCAA Tournament and then built on that. Go get'em USU
Interesting to see how different the computer rankings are than selection committee's opinions.
Rank, Name, Record, (W,L), Ranking Score
19 Marquette 23 8 748
30 Brigham Young 24 6 735
40 Utah 21 9 722
43 Utah St. 27 4 720
The committee probably got the Marquette/USU seeds correct but flipped the Utah and BYU ranks *and* seeded those two schools too high in general - by the computer USU and Utah are basically tied.
The 28 score (rank) difference between USU and Marquette is very tight (a 100 point difference is the easy prediction difference). Given Boise is almost a home court for the Aggies, and that Marquette lost a great player, I think we stand a very good chance of advancing to the second round.

Great draw, great location, go Aggies!!!
Besides an 8 vs 9 game gives you the #1 seed next round, which may be jumping ahead but I think it is a great draw for us.
GO AGS!!!
Way to work your way back into the rankings Ags.
Go Aggies.
Even the Big Sky (Weber) got a second team playing another game!
This team is talented, focused, and is playing with a chip on their shoulder to prove they can win without james. USU sounds too confident and could get blown out in this game.
Bring your brothers, sisters mas and pas let's go to boise friday and rock out Taco Bell arena. I'll be there will you?
As far as not wanting to schedule 2 or 3 away games for 1 at home; would you rather be right or happy?
Go Ags!
Thanks for the commentary you gave to the Cracked sidewalks Blog it was inciteful.
This is a contrast in styles. If MU can turn up the tempo and keep aggies on their heels, the game could get away from them quickly. A slow pace (and blocked up half court game) would definitely benefit USU.
Our team has not completly found their legs w/o point guard D James, but have improved and changed to adjust for it. Case in point, the second half comeback v Nova (which fell a point short).
By the way, what's with your mascot? ;)
