Utah State University's basketball team, under the guidance of first-season coach Danny Sprinkle, who is in the top-five discussion for National Coach of the Year, secured a significant 68-63 victory against No. 19 ranked San Diego State, thus claiming sole possession of first place in the Mountain West Conference. Despite being 2.5-point underdogs, Utah State showcased a strong performance, particularly from Great Osobor, who filled the stat sheet with 13 points, 7 assists, and 6 rebounds, and Darius Brown II, who scored a season-high 25 points. This win is a testament to Sprinkle's remarkable coaching, leading a team that did not return a single point from last year's roster to the top of the conference standings with a 22-5 record.

Utah State beats San Diego State to improve to 22-5 and is alone atop the Mountain West for now. Danny Sprinkle is in his first season there and has to be in the top-five discussion for National Coach of the Year. This has been a crazy debut campaign in Logan.
What Danny Sprinkle has done in the first season at Utah State is amazing. This team did not return a single point from last year’s team. Now alone in first place in the Mountain West. 25 for Darius Brown.
Triple-double watch in Logan as @USUBasketball leads No. 19 @Aztec_MBB midway through the second half Great Osobor filling up the stat sheet 1⃣3⃣ Points 6⃣ rebounds 7⃣ assists (career-high) #AggiesAllTheWay https://t.co/nX1lNF4Eij
Utah State’s Great Osobor has been absolutely terrific tonight. So versatile for someone 6-8 and 250. Scores in the post, makes plays off the bounce, rebounds, protects the rim. Has 11 points, 7 assists and 6 boards with 12 minutes left. Averaging 17.8 points and 9.2 boards…
Utah State point guard Darius Brown III has been terrific in the first half with 12 points, and it’s been big man Great Osobor’s passing and overall defense that has been key for the Aggies going into the break up 31-26 over San Diego State.
First place in the @MountainWest is on the line tonight when @USUBasketball hosts No. 19 @Aztec_MBB Tip-off at 7 p.m. #AggiesAllTheWay https://t.co/b3zmvtXjaU

Heck of a defensive effort by LSU. The Aggies are missing their point guard, so it’s a game the Tigers should be winning handily. https://t.co/BhRsyVUI1L
