• Utah State concludes 2024 with a three-game road trip, its first true road games of the season. The Aggies will be put to the test with possibly their most difficult stretch of games on the schedule, all three road contests being against top-60 NET teams. As the NET rankings currently sit, Utah State will have four Quad 1 games the rest of the way - three of those are on this road trip. 
 
• USU is 3-0 away from home this year, though all three of those games have been played at neutral sites.
 
• The Aggies have opened the year 10-1 for the third-consecutive season, after previously getting off to the best start to a season in program history at 10-0. 
 
• Utah State sophomore guard Mason Falslev was named the Mountain West Player of the Week for the third time in the past four weeks after going for 27 points, nine rebounds, a career-high nine assists and three steals in the team's win over South Florida.
 
• Fifth year guard Ian Martinez has scored in double-figures in every contest this year. He ranks first in the Mountain West in free throws made (66), first in free throw percentage (.917), third in scoring average (17.5), fifth in 3-pointers made (2.3), eighth in assist/turnover ratio (2.12) and 14th in assists (3.3).
 
•  Falslev and Martinez are one of just two duos in the country that each average at least 17 points and three assists per contest. They are also one of just eight pairs in the nation that each average 17 or more points.
 
• Utah State ranks No. 39 in the most recent NET rankings and are the highest ranked team in the Mountain West. 
 
• USU is receiving votes in both the AP Top 25 and USA Today Coaches poll. 
 
• This will be the 13th all-time meeting between Utah State and Saint Mary's, a highly competitive series which is tied 6-6. The Gaels have won two-straight against USU, including a 60-58 win in Logan in the most recent meeting. 
 
• All-time against current WCC opponents, Utah State is 93-47 (.664).
