All it took was a little confidence and the willingness to take open jumpers.
In the beginning of the season, Tyler Newbold passed on open shots. Then he passed on more. Then he passed on more. To the point that it was hurting Utah State's offense.
But that's changed. He's started to take open looks, and while he's making them at a good clip, it's helping to open up the inside game for the Aggies who desperately have needed wing scoring.
Last week in the Gossner Tournament, Newbold and Pooh Wiliams have seemed to find a groove, a fact that makes the USU offense that much more dangerous.
"We're such a better team when we have scoring from our wings," Stew Morrill said.
It's something that needs to continue for Utah State to be the best it can this season. If Newbold and Williams are making shots, it takes pressure off Tai Wesley and Brady Jardine to score inside. It takes pressure off Brian Green from scoring on the perimeter off the bench and takes pressure off Brockeith Pane at the point.
It simply gives the Utah State offense another dimension.
One that it sorely needs.
