Andy Glockner from Sports Illustrated put out his latest bracket projection, which you can find here. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/writers/andy_glockner/12/27/bracket-watch/index.html
He has Utah State as a 12 seed in Tuscon Arizona facing off against No. 5 Illinois.
In the opinion of this blog, that would be a great matchup for the Aggies, getting a team that likes to grind it out and won't try to run Utah State out of the building. Plus, with the location, there's the chance for a lot of fan support there for Utah State.
Obviously this is an extremely early projection, but USU will need to play extremely well in conference play to get better than a no. 12 seed.
