2025 Tournament PreviewUtah State snapped a 23-year winless drought last season in the NCAA Tournament and is back looking for more after finishing third in an above-average Mountain West. The Aggies started 10-0 and picked up their only two Quad 1 wins shortly thereafter, both on the road at Saint Mary's and San Diego State. With an 8-3 Quad 2 record and no bad losses, the resume is sufficient. Guards Ian Martinez (16.8 ppg) and Mason Falslev (14.9 ppg, 6.2 rpg) lead an offense that ranks 21st nationally in effective FG percentage. Those two and Dexter Akanno (8.3 ppg) have hit 50-plus three-pointers, each shooting at least 37.5 percent, with Akanno shooting a conference-high 43.9 percent. The Aggies score well inside the perimeter too, ranking 12th in two-point FG percentage, boosting the offense to 17th in KenPom's efficiency rating. Utah State does not defend as well, however (232nd in effective opponent FG%), and no player taller than 6-foot-5 plays more than 17 minutes.
