• Utah State wraps up a three-game road trip this week in Reno, its first true road games of the season. The Aggies won the first two, defeating Saint Mary's and No. 20 San Diego State. This is one of USU's most difficult stretches of games on the schedule, all three road games being against top-75 NET teams: Saint Mary's (49 at the time), San Diego State (43 at the time) and Nevada (64). As the NET rankings currently sit, Utah State is 3-0 in Quad 1 games with another Quad 1 opportunity this week at Nevada.
• USU is 5-0 away from home this year, with neutral site wins over Iowa, St. Bonaventure and North Texas, and road wins at Saint Mary's and San Diego State.
• Currently 12-1, this the fifth-best 13-game start to a season in program history. The Aggies opened the year with 10-straight wins, the team's best-ever start to a year.
• Utah State is coming off of a 67-66 road win at No. 20 San Diego State. This was the first road win over an AP ranked opponent for the Aggies since 1991. It was also just the team's second-ever win over the Aztecs in San Diego, and first since 1998.
• Utah State sophomore guard Mason Falslev was named the Mountain West Player of the Week for the fourth time this season. He is just the 10th player in league history to earn the honor four or more times in a season, and just the third underclassman to do so.
• Falslev leads the Aggies in points (17.2), rebounds (6.3) and steals (2.4) per game, and is one of just two players in the country this season averaging at least 17 points, six rebounds, three assists and two steals per contest.
• Fifth year guard Ian Martinez has scored in double-figures in every contest this year, currently averaging 17.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game.
• Utah State ranks No. 27 in the most recent NET rankings and are the highest ranked team in the Mountain West. The Aggies jumped two spots following their win at San Diego State.
• USU is receiving votes in both the AP Top 25 and USA Today Coaches poll.
• This will be the 68th all-time meeting between Utah State and Nevada, a series which began in 1935. USU leads the series 41-26, but trails 14-18 in Reno. The Aggies have won six of the past nine meetings.
