The Aggies are going to have to play much better on Saturday if a Western Athletic Conference title is in the cards for them on Saturday.

USU struggled mightily with San Jose State, not making perimeter jumpers, not playing well offensively and finding themselves in one of those offensive ruts that could prove fatal next week in the NCAA tournament.

Boise State, meanwhile, dismantled New Mexico State, and looked by far like the team of the night in Friday's WAC semifinal.

Yes, the Aggies have beaten the Broncos twice. But if there's a third win, USU will have to be crisp offensively, and as good defensively as they were on Friday.

It's completely possible, and completely doable, but Boise State is the hottest team in the league right now. LaShard Anderson is playing out of his mind, Robert Arnold is shooting lights out and Daquan Montreal is really playing well in the paint.

However, Utah State is nothing if not battle tested, and if the Aggies are going to win a first league title since 2009, they have to see an improvement on both ends of the floor.
