SUNRISE, Fla. – Utah State center Neemias Queta left the game in the first half against the Florida Gators in the Orange Bowl Classic.
Queta went down with a leg injury late in the first half after colliding with a Florida defender.
The sophomore started his second game of the season and made his fourth appearance after missing the first 8 games of the season due to a knee injury he suffered with the Portugal U-20 team during the FIBA World Championships.
Neemias Queta is down for Utah State. Not a good sign for the Aggies.
