NCAA Basketball action resumes today when the Utah State welcome the Bengals in what should be an entertaining match at the Convocation Center. If you plan to watch Utah State vs Idaho State live, stream online, or on TV today then first check out our Aggies vs Bengals preview below.
Utah State Aggies vs Idaho State Bengals
The Aggies go into this one with a 80% winning record, and naturally as favorites over the Idaho State Bengals. Utah State will be sure to keep an eye on the current Idaho State streak (Lost 1), and take necessary precautions. The Aggies are averaging 69.6 ppg this season (good for number 177 in the NCAA), and better than the Bengals’s 62.6 ppg average in the 2010-2011 NCAA season.
Playing on the road, the Bengals will need to play to their strengths and their 7.1 steals per game is their strongest statistical attribute (and good for number 140 in the whole NCAA Division 1). The Idaho State are 3-6 this season overall (0-0 in the Big Sky Conference) and today will hope to improve their 0 – 6 record away from Holt Arena.
Utah State have been dominating their opponents this season in the freethrows made departement. Their 175 freethrows made is the number 81 best among the 350 colleges in the NCAA D1, and that will be an area that the Idaho State coaching staff will want to balance out today if they want to dampen Utah State’s 5 – 0 home record. After 10 games, the Aggies hopeful will be counting for a victory to improve their standing in the Western Athletic Conference.
