The Utah State Aggies had a season to remember in 2022-23. The team finished with a 28-7 record, including a perfect 18-0 mark in Mountain West Conference play. The Aggies earned a berth in the NCAA Tournament, where they lost to Arizona in the first round.

The Aggies were led by a trio of talented players: guard Taylor Funk, forward Brandon Horvath, and center Neemias Queta. Funk was named the Mountain West Player of the Year after averaging 16.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game. Horvath was a force inside, averaging 14.5 points and 8.7 rebounds per game. Queta was a defensive force, averaging 14.9 points, 10.1 rebounds, and 3.3 blocks per game.

The Aggies' success was due in large part to their strong defense. The team held opponents to an average of 63.5 points per game, which was good for fifth in the nation. The Aggies also forced 18 turnovers per game, which was good for second in the nation.

The Aggies' season was a success by any measure. The team won a school-record 28 games, earned a berth in the NCAA Tournament, and finished the season ranked 25th in the nation. The future is bright for the Aggies, who return all five starters from this year's team.

I had the opportunity to watch the Aggies play several times this season, and I was impressed by their talent and determination. I believe that the Aggies have the potential to be a national championship contender in the near future.

Here are some of my favorite memories from the Aggies' 2022-23 season:

  • The Aggies' 80-60 win over BYU in the Marriott Center. The Aggies dominated the game from start to finish, and the crowd was electric.
  • The Aggies' 65-53 win over Boise State in the Mountain West Tournament championship game. The Aggies held the Broncos to just 34.5% shooting from the field.
  • The Aggies' 70-64 loss to Arizona in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. The Aggies played tough, but they couldn't overcome a 13-point deficit in the second half.

I am excited to see what the future holds for the Utah State Aggies. I believe that the team has the potential to be one of the best in the country.
