Why Utah State Will Win
The Aggies put on a defensive clinic in the 62-50 win over Colorado State, holding the high-octane O to just 16% from three and 25% from the field. That’s what this team does.

San Diego State has to force turnovers and has to hold down the Aggies from the outside. Don’t expect fireworks in what should be one of the most intense defensive games of Championship Weekend.
