Take " (659) UTAH STATE "
Bracket Buster GOY: Utah State.
A great coach, a winning program, great defense and a ton of talent...and they're a dog? Utah State (25-2) has the second-best record in the nation behind Oklahoma (25-1) and is tied with the Sooners for the most wins in the nation. Utah State is also one of just five teams in the nation with two or fewer losses along with Oklahoma, Connecticut (24-2), Pittsburgh (24-2), and North Carolina (24-2). This is nothing new. Utah State is the only team in the nation to win at least 23 games in each of the last 10 years. The Aggies play terrific defense, allowing 59 ppg and are 10-1 on the road. They were a dog once this season, and won straight up at UCSB. St. Mary's is 3-4 SU the last 7 games without star playmaker Patrick Mills (18.7 ppg), the leading scorer who is out with two broken bones in his right hand. The wrong team opened as the favorite. Play Utah State.
