Interesting matchup coming up Thursday. Fresno State has lost twice to Utah State in games that came down to the final minute (once in overtime). Pretty much a nightmare of a quarterfinal draw for Utah State.
Crazy thing is, Hawaii was probably the last team Fresno State wanted to face again because of its physicality.
