Utah State canceled their game with Weber State last week due to COVID-19. On December 2, Aggies head coach Craig Smith revealed that he tested positive for COVID-19. He didn’t coach the team in their games against BYU on Dec. 5 and College of Idaho on Dec. 8.

This season, Utah State is 2-3 on the year with wins over Northern Iowa and College of Idaho. They lost to VCU and South Dakota State at the Bad Boy Mowers Crossover Classic before falling to BYU at home.

If the Aggies don’t schedule another non-conference game this week, they will begin Mountain West Conference play with a two-game series versus San Jose State at home beginning on Monday, Dec. 21 and Wednesday, Dec. 23.
