Utah St. basketball: Aggies again in top poll position

This probably makes Stu Mad. He likes to use underdog status as a motivator.

Over the next few days he will be quoted as saying that he doesn't even know if the Aggies will win any games this year... They don't look very good to him tight now, The can't play defense, etc.

Go Aggies.

Good luck to the aggies. I hope they can win a second class league. They would have zero percent shot in the MWC.

Go Aggies! Can't wait for basketball to get going! With Coach Stew at the helm there is a very good chance this team will live up to the hype. Still hoping to see some good things from football before the season ends as well. Best of luck to Coach Andersen, Stew, and both teams!

No surprise. Aggies are the best team in the WAC and in the state

You obviously know nothing about college basketball,why would you even bother to comment on here?
The WAC will be a tough league this year with more than a handful of players projected to be in the NBA, a few of which are lottery picks, Babbit and George.
Ags will dominate again at home though, and with a tougher schedule they should be ready for a post season run! GO AGGIES!!!

Please is just a zoobie looser. USU will beat byu this year and they are picked to win the mountain worst conference. The WAC will be a much better basketball conference this year. Just watch and see.

Don't feed the trolls :-)

Seriously, Ags always dominate the league - regardless of which league (Big West, WAC, it's all the same with Stew at the helm).

I would like to the see the Ags schedule every team in the MWC for one year during the preseason. I know, I know, it's not really feasible, but I would LOVE to see the Ags romp through the MWC, crush their spirits, thumb their noses at them, then walk away - it would do no good with the nay sayers, but so what? As a USU fan, I'd love to see it, and I would put money on it that USU would go undefeated against the MWC - seriously.

Go usu you are a great team

Good luck this season

I am a fan of seeing the ags win but they don't play anybody good with their non conference games. Last year we lost to all the good teams and beat the crappy ones. We need to take a 1 for 3 with a Duke, UNC, Memphis, etc. we need to play somebody that is a credible team. look at Nevada they play UNC who do we play that is good? Northwest Nazarene, Trinity Western, Western Oregon and some other crap. These teams I have never heard of. Now look at Nevada's schedule VCU, UNC and better non conference games. No wonder they always are good cause they play a tough schedule that prepares them for the tough games in conference.

they will have freshman of the year in Preston Eaton.

USU is a great team and as far as W-L over the last 10 years or so they've got a track record that surely is the envy of the staet. BUT, and it's a big BUT, they just aren't the clear cut state favorite Aggie fans claim. They barely beat Utah at home and they lost to BYU on a neutral court. Don't get me wrong I love the Aggies they just aren't the necessary the best team in the state.

To USU's credit anything less than 1st or 2nd place in the WAC would be a disappointment.

BENDALL!!!

From love in Reno. GO WOLFPACK!!!!!! We will break you. Football season all over again.

Are you kidding me, the Aggies a great team? Define great team for me because there are none in this state, the closest would be Utah going far into the tournament, but the aggies, please, if they even do go to the tournament which is a rarity, they are a one and done deal, you put them in the "mountain's worst" as you call it, they go on road and lose for sure to UNLV, SDSU, UTAH, BYU, and UNM, no doubt, losing 5 games like that would put you in the middle of the pack in the "mountains worst" as you call it, the teams in the wac are weak, they may have some good players, but the wac is weak.

Look at this years schedule before you comment. You make yourself look silly when you don't do your homework.

USU will win the WAC and BYU will be lucky to go 2 - 2 this year against the WAC they may go 1 - 3. Only being able to be a poor Hawaii team.

Who has the bucket for being the best basketball team in the state?? Oh yeah USU has it thats right. Win the bucket then pop off.

The Mountain West plays the WAC fifteen times in the non-conference with byu playing four WAC teams. Even in a so called "down year" the Mountain West will win at least ten of the matchups.

Everybody needs to cheer for Utah, byu, and Utah State to get into the NCAA Tournament, but please don't tell me that Utah State is the best basketball program in the state when you have not won an NCAA Tournament game in the past ten seasons.

The Mountain West Conference is not superior to the WAC, but it is definitely much better.

30 wins. I define a great team by their W-L columns. Not by how mouthy their fans are. They would "lose for sure" to those MWC teams? Nobody's even played any games yet. They will win quite a few games. Take it easy. They return 4 out of 5 guys from a great team. Go Aggies. Here's to having the best sporting venue in the state.

"The Mountain West Conference is not superior to the WAC, but it is definitely much better."

Whenever I read something like this I have to admit that the folks clamoring for higher paid teachers are probably right.
