Utah State falls to TAM 69-53

Well, PTW didn't see a moment of the game which makes it impossible to offer any commentary. Was Utah State out-athleticized? Were the Texas Aggies too big? Too tough? Did TAM just have a better-than-usual shooting effort? Inquiring minds would like to know.

Jared Eborn liveblogged the game so re-live it here -- start at the bottom and scroll up.

Shawn Harrison offers an early game report.

Here is the take from the USU athletics site.

Texas A&M won both halves 42-29 and then a much lower scoring 27-24. The southern Aggies shot 49% for the game, 44% on 18 three-point attempts. Utah State shot 39% overall, 25% on 20 trey attempts. What's most remarkable is USU was awarded just four foul shots -- making none.

Due to foul trouble, Tai Wesley played 26 minutes -- the least of all of Stew Morrill's starters. He shot 7-11 in the game, along with a team high six boards. Jared Quayle went 5-18, 1-9 from long distance.

Oh yes, the individuals mentioning Stew Morrill -- however loosely -- to the Iowa job, please don't waste bandwith. Based on nothing more than commonsense, it's not a match. Heck, why not throw out Bob Knight's name instead? Hey, our super double secret inside the basketball beltway sources tell us that the General is tired of selling car insurance so... ;-)
