Utah State Aggies
Utah State comes in at no. 50 in the KenPom rankings which means one thing: this team isn’t a joke. The Aggies’ offense ranks 66th and their defense is even better.
USU’s two losses have come on the road, at Arizona State by five and at BYU by fifteen. It has swept the rest of its schedule and has a chance to knock off two of the nine remaining undefeateds in the next week.

They go to Nevada next week. Of course, Houston is also one of the nine teams without a loss yet this season.
Sam Merrill is a prolific scorer at over twenty a game and a deadly shooter from anywhere on the floor. He and Diogo Brito do most of the damage from beyond the arc, though Merrill in much more volume.
USU’s two other double-digit scorers do most of their work inside and between them average nearly thirteen rebounds per game. The Aggies are an excellent rebounding team on the whole.
Houston Cougars
Houston is 10–0 but it just comes in at no. 36, fourteen spots ahead of USU. This game might be closer than those who take a quick glance at it expect it to be.
Since beating Lamar by twenty-three on December 4, the Cougars have won three games, each by a slimmer margin than the last.

They beat Oklahoma State by ten four days later and LSU by six four days after that. On Sunday, they barely got rid of Saint Louis in a four-point escape.
USU fits right in there among those opponents, by the metrics. It gets harder and harder to stay unbeaten as the season wears on. Could this be where it ends for the Coogs?
