• Utah State is coming off of one of the toughest three-game road trips in recent history, a test which the team aced with a 3-0 record. The Aggies earned a 75-68 win at Saint Mary's, a 67-66 win at No. 20 San Diego State and a 69-64 win at Nevada. Prior to this stretch, USU was 17-30 all-time in those three locations. 
 
• All three of those games are Quad 1 victories for the Aggies, the first time since NET rankings were adopted in 2018 that USU has earned three-consecutive Q1 wins. 
 
• The Aggies are 6-0 away from home so far this year, winning three true road games and three neutral site contests.
 
• USU currently holds a 6-1 record against Quad 1 and Quad 2 opponents. This is tied for the second-most Q1 and Q2 wins in the country behind only Memphis (8), while only Auburn (6) and Oregon (4) have more Quad 1 wins. 
 
• Utah State is the only team in the country with three Quad 1 road wins. 
 
• Currently 13-1, this the fifth-best 14-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 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 (17.0), rebounds (6.3), assists (3.5) and steals (2.6) 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, 3.1 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game. 
 
• Utah State ranks No. 24 in the most recent NET rankings and is the highest ranked team in the Mountain West. 
 
• This will be the 73rd all-time meeting between Utah State and Fresno State, a series which began in 1963. USU leads the series 46-26, including a 27-8 record in Logan. The Aggies have won 11 of the past 12 meetings, including all three last season.
