LAS VEGAS, Nev. - The No. 2-seeded Utah State Aggies will face the No. 3-seeded Colorado State Rams in the semifinals of the Mountain West Tournament on Friday, March 12, at 10 p.m. (MT).

The Aggies and Rams split a two-game series in Logan earlier in the year as Utah State posted an 83-64 victory in the first game before losing the second, 84-76. In the first game between the two teams, Utah State junior guard Brock Miller led the Aggies in scoring, turning in 20 points, followed by a double-double effort by junior center Neemias Queta with 18 points and 12 rebounds. Senior forward Alphonso Anderson rounded out the double-digit scorers, logging 12 points off the bench.

In the second game, Miller, Queta and Anderson all recorded double figures again, finishing with 14, 13 and 10 points, respectively. Freshman guards Rollie Worster and Steven Ashworth also scored in double figures for the Aggies, scoring 12 and 10 points, respectively. Despite the scoring output, Colorado State finished the game shooting 50.0 percent (25-of-50) from the floor to hand Utah State one of only two losses inside the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum.
