I remember when Albury entered the portal but not aware that the Niners contacted the Bahamas native who averaged 17ppg, 5.8rpg, and 3.7apg for the Royals last year.

Don’t understand why we didn’t.

Does this mean the Alex Loughton rule applies, and he is going to drop 45 on us?

Albury has bounced around since coming to the US in 2019 - Sunrise Academy in Wichita, Believe Prep in Rock Hill, Chipola JC in Florida, Queens, and now USU to wrap up his collegiate career.

Anyway, he will be an integral piece of an Aggies program that has been to the NCAAT 4 of the past 6 seasons. Even with a new coach and 8 transfers, could still be an upper division MW school this year.

There are conflicting posts etc about game start time, so will list the correct one when it’s made available. Hmm… :thinking:

Just a friendly USU fan stalking around,
The discussion about the time discrepancy has garnered a discussion on our forum (Charlotte Game - USUFans.com)
To summarize it, we (USU) have a football game on Saturday at 8:30 mdt, so the game has been moved to 2:00 mdt to avoid the scheduling conflict. So the game should be at 4 for you people on the east coast.

Utah State begins their season tonight vs Alcorn State, so will have a better idea of what the Niners are up against on Saturday following the game.

Aggies saw quite a bit of change following last year’s MW regular season championship run and NCAAT appearance that included a first round win over TCU before bowing out to Purdue. Then 2024 MW COY Danny Sprinkle and POY Great Osobor both left Logan when the Washington job opened up.

New USU coach is Jerrod Calhoun from Youngstown State and key player is returnee Ian Martinez (13.3 ppg in 2023-24), a 2025 all-MW preseason pick. Team took a foreign tour over the summer and easily won all three games vs European competition. Also handily won a charity exhibition vs in-state foe Weber State.

You can watch their exhibition game for free here. I’m not sure if there will be a cost for our game on Saturday or their game tonight vs. Alcorn.

All you guys who actually exist (we all know that β€œNorth Carolina” doesn’t exist just like β€œNorth Dakota” doesn’t exist)

Nope, there will be no charge to watch the game on Saturday
