A Utah State area to exploit

Yes, maybe this is a grasping of straws but you better believe that other WAC coaches and players are away of this and attempts to exploit this opening will continue.

Musings from Wesley

We in the media always enjoy interviewing Aggie forward Tai Wesley.

While he likes to have a little fun with us, he also tells it like it is. There is no sugar coating anything.

After the SJSU game — which he fouled out of with 4:10 to play — I asked him why he seems to have foul issues in San Jose? Two years ago he was tossed because of a flagrant foul.

“I don’t know. I don’t like foul trouble, but I seem to get into it quite a bit here,” Wesley answered. “I thought I was doing good the last few games, because I’ve had like one or two the whole game. I think I let my emotions get the best of me a little bit.”

It got physical, and the few Spartan students who were there got on the Aggie big man several times. Then he started jawing a little with some of the Spartan players.

“(Chris) Oakes started to talk to me a little bit, so did Mac (Peterson), so I started talking back and it got a little personal,” Wesley said. “Then I wanted to block their stuff. Maybe I was out of control on offense a couple of times. I let my emotions get the best of me.”

Two of his five fouls came on the offensive end, including No. 5.

Wesley has a great basketball IQ. He's unselfish. His presence is a critical key to the success of the Aggie offense -- make that the entire game plan.

But he must take the next step and be able to trade talk without the resulting emotional energy that produces foul trouble.
