GAME NOTES – Utah State Men’s Basketball Faces Bradley on the Road Saturday

Share:
Men's Basketball 11/9/2023 1:10:00 PM
Danny Sprinkle was named the head men's basketball coach at Utah State on April 7, 2023. 
 
• Utah State is one of just three teams in the nation returning zero points to its 2023-24 roster, joining New Mexico State and Northwestern. The Aggies also have the second-fewest returning rebounds (0.004 percent) and are tied for the second-fewest returning assists (0.003 percent), both behind NMSU.
 
• Utah State is tied for fourth in the nation with 13 newcomers on its 2023-24 roster, including graduate senior guard Darius Brown II, a Montana State transfer, graduate wing Max Agbonkpolo, a Wyoming transfer, senior guard Ian Martinez, a Maryland transfer, junior wing Great Osobor, a Montana State transfer, junior guard Josh Uduje, a Coastal Carolina transfer, junior forward Jackson Grant, a Washington transfer, junior forward Kalifa Sakho, a South Plains College transfer, sophomore guard Javon Jackson, a Southern Nazarene transfer, sophomore forward Nigel Burris, an Idaho transfer, and four freshmen in guard Garrison Phelps, guard Jaxon Smith, wing Dallin Grant and forward Karson Templin.
 
• Utah State returns just three players from its 2022-23 roster, including two redshirts in sophomore center Isaac Johnson and freshman guard Mason Falslev. Sophomore guard Landon Brenchley is the only current USU player who has recorded any stats in an Aggie uniform prior to the 2023-24 campaign.
 
• Utah State scored 101 points in its season-opener against South Dakota Mines (Nov. 6) to mark the 105th time in school history that it has scored at least 100 points. The last time USU scored 100 points in a season opener was during the 2018-19 season when it posted a 101-71 home win against Montana State. 
 
• Utah State's 53-point win (101-48) against South Dakota Mines is tied for the 11th-largest victory in school history and largest since posting a 68-point win against Eastern Oregon (129-61) on Dec. 28, 2019.
 
• Junior guard Josh Uduje scored 19 points in the season-opening win against South Dakota Mines. Uduje was 8-of-8 from the field, which is tied with 10 other players for the best shooting percentage in a single game in school history with a minimum of eight made field goals. The last Aggie to accomplish this feat was Gary Wilkinson, who was also 8-of-8 from the field, in 2007.
