I asked that question to senior forward Tai Wesley this afternoon. He answered it like I had just asked him a dumb question.

"Of course we can get better," Wesley said. "We can always get better, we always have things that we need to work on, and that's why you practice."

For the Aggies, it's been a long week. Nothing dramatic, just a long week of practice with no games to break up the monotony.

Utah State has certainly, however, relished the chance to have a full week to prepare for Idaho, which beat the Aggies three weeks ago in a stunning upset. USU has been chomping at the bit for the chance at redemption, and is almost certain to put its best foot forward against the Vandals.

"We can't wait," Wesley said. "We want to go out and play Utah State basketball. We feel like we didn't do that last time, and we want that for us and for our fans."
