Utah State will Win the NCAA Tournament - Reasons Why by Mason deLisser

• Utah State is one of the most efficient shooting teams in the country. They are top 15 in field goal percentage at 48.95%. I feel bad for any school matching up with an offense that relentless. 

  
  

• The precision on the offensive end spreads to the passing too, as the Aggies are 10th in the land in assists per game and 11th in turnover/assist ratio. A team capable of spreading the ball the way they do combined with their shooting should definitely be feared. 

  
  

• Speaking of offensive efficiency, Utah State is rated 17th there in KenPoms’ ratings. Yet another testament to what a machine this squad can be on that end of the court. 

  
  

• Experience and effective guard play are the hallmarks of a group capable of making a run in March. The Aggies have both of these. This bunch has made four of the last five tournaments and two of their top three scorers (who are all guards) were on last year’s team that got to the second round. 

  
  

• Utah State’s student section, The Hurd, is notoriously rowdy and known as one of the best and loudest student sections in the country. I could see them causing the other team to go deaf or insulting them to death. Either way, looking forward to seeing what chaos you can cause, Hurd.
