LOGAN, Utah - Utah State (1-3) hosts the College of Idaho (1-1) on Tuesday, Dec. 8, at 7 p.m., in a game that can be seen on the Mountain West Digital Network (www.utahstateaggies.com/watch). The contest marks the first official meeting between the two schools since the 1926-27 season, a 66-16 victory for USU.
 
Opening Tips
• Utah State faced the College of Idaho last season in an exhibition contest  and posted a 100-66 victory as five players scored in double figures, including returners Justin Bean (18), Sean Bairstow (11), Brock Miller (10) and Trevin Dorius (10).
 
• Utah State is 66-0 against non-Division I opponents, including 29-0 against teams from the NAIA ranks.
 
• Over his first four games, freshman guard Rollie Worster has scored more points than any other true freshman in Utah State history, totaling 51 points and averaging 12.8 points per contest. Worster ranks ahead of Koby McEwen (2016-17) and Jaycee Carroll (2004-05) with 47 points, Tony Brown (1998-99) with 39 points and Kendall Youngblood (1988-89) with 35 points.
 
• Worster's total is the most points by a freshman over their first four games since the 2014-15 season, when redshirt-freshman David Collette turned in 54 points over his first four games. Worster has scored in double figures in each of the last three of the last four games for the Aggies.
 
• Redshirt junior guard Marco Anthony is the only Aggie to surpass 20 points this season, logging a career-high 22 points in Utah State's 82-71 victory over Northern Iowa on Nov. 27.
 
• Over the first four games, Anthony has already totaled more points (55) than his entire two-year career at Virginia (52). Anthony has scored in double figures in each of the last three games.
 
• Junior center Neemias Queta has scored in double figures in each of the first four games of the season and is averaging a near double-double of 15.5 points and 9.0 rebounds per game
 
• Junior forward Justin Bean has pulled down 10 or more rebounds in each of the last two games, bringing his career total to 27 games with double-digit rebounds, needing just one more 10-rebound effort to tie Jimmy Moore (1973-75) for 10th all-time in Utah State history.
 
• Utah State's starting frontcourt of Bean and Queta has outscored the opposition's starting bigs in every game this season. The Aggies have outscored the opposition in the paint in three of their four games this season.
