ANDREW’S FREE UTAH STATE VS WYOMING PREDICTION
I’ll stick with the Aggies. In their last matchup versus Boise State, Utah State notched a solid overall effort on 51.8 percent shooting, 35 rebounds, 20 team assists and just eight turnovers. It was a nice turnaround following a combined 130 points in their previous pair (both losses).
The last time these teams met up back on January 9, Utah State didn’t have too many issues in an 83-59 blowout victory at home. The Aggies started slowly with a two-point edge in the first half, but eventually caught fire on 52.5 percent shooting from the field. This one may not be such a lopsided affair, but in the end I think Utah State keeps it rolling and pulls off the cover.
