Utah State basketball: Aggies on the road at New Mexico State

College hoops ? USU takes 13-game winning streak into matchup.

Las Cruces, N.M. ? The Utah State basketball team will try to defend its 13-game winning streak on Thursday night when it visits the other Aggies in the Western Athletic Conference.

New Mexico State (10-8, 4-2) hosts Utah State (14-1, 5-0) at the Pan-American Center in what should be the toughest conference test so far. NMSU will have a height advantage in the front court, something Utah State hasn?t dealt with much this year.

Freshman Sim Bhullar, a 7-foot-5 center, will be the biggest man on the court, and NMSU boasts three other scorers averaging around double-digit points. Sophomore guard Daniel Mullings leads the team with 14.9 points per game, but his defensive ability could be the bigger threat in guarding Preston Medlin.

Medlin is on a tear, scoring more than 20 points in five of his last 10 games. The Aggies are also hoping for big games out of post players Jarred Shaw and Kyisean Reed, who are averaging a combined 25.2 points and 15.5 rebounds per contest.
