Friday's league-play-has-begun hoops report

Two of the perennial top WAC teams flexed their respective muscles, demonstrating their rightful places at the top of the conference rankings.

+++++

When you enter The Spectrum, you, well, get Spectrum-ized. Despite some early season concerns, this season's Aggies aren't showing any willingness to hand over their crown, downing Fresno State 72-53 last night. Jonathan Wills (16 points)  and Jerry Brown (14 points) performed well for the Dogs while it was the Preston Medlin (19 points) and Kyisean Reed  (16 points, 7-8 shooting, 10 boards) Show for the victors.

Matt Sonnenberg, Kraig Williams, Shawn Harrison and Tony Jones made it a crowd on press row plus Craig Peterson serves up 31 game photos.

Robert Kuwada was also in Logan (let's give a shout out to the Fresno Bee big shots for this).

+++++

Nevada jumped out to a 17-point halftime lead before cruising to a 73-55 victory over Idaho in Moscow. The win isn't a surprise but the margin is. Deonte Burton led the way with 26 points while Malik Story contributed 17. Stephen Madison's 13 points paced the Vandals.

Chris Murray tweeted the matchup (kudos go out to the Gazette Journal suits who sent him to cover this road game). Josh Wright was also a-twitterin'.

Chris has his game report as does Josh, plus Madison McCord/Vandal Nation was present.

+++++

No games are scheduled for tonight, with four contests on line for Saturday.
