Well, it's not secret - Utah State won last night yet again. This ESPN article says it all, pretty much.There will be a great bit about this Tech game on tomorrow's show. Be sure to tune in here.

My general thoughts from the game -
Pooh Williams' impact on this game was felt very, very hard. He not only scored all of his points when USU needed to score, but also shut down Kyle Gibson. Gibson went 4-18 from the field and got only 14 points. He was a virtual non-factor, a fact to which Pooh himself seemed surprised at after the game.
Brady Jardine just wasn't himself with the mask, and Stew recognized that. Hopefully he'll be a bit more back in form by Saturday.
Tech is extremely athletic. Credit Stew's brilliant basketball mind for drawing up a way for USU to win, because if it weren't for Stew, USU would be just a bunch of white guys (and Pooh and Modou) playing hoops and getting thrashed. Stew knows how to run his team, and his team trusts in the system. How many coaches would give their right arm to be able to influence their players like that. Tech's Rupp would. He was quoted as saying that his team more or less ignored the scouting report on Pooh: to never let him finish with his left, and that's what Tech did. Tech allowed Pooh to finish with his left, and now... Tech is two games behind.
And finally, Nate Bendall's rebound on the Pooh Williams missed 1-and-1 free throw for the putback and the foul was EPIC. That play, combined with the Newbold steal in transition won the game for the Aggies.
Get 'em Ags.
