Aggie Men Conclude Regular Season At Home Saturday Night Against New Mexico State - Utah State is in its 105th season of basketball and has an overall record of 1,425-1,000 (.587). USU hasn't had a losing season since the 1992-93 campaign, a span of 17 years, when that team finished with a 10-17 record. With New Mexico State's 100-92 loss at Nevada, Utah State notched its second-straight outright Western Athletic Conference regular season title as it also won the league in 2009 with a 14-2 WAC mark. USU shared the WAC title in 2008 with a 12-4 conference mark and its current streak of three straight regular season conference championships is the best in school history. Utah State is receiving votes in both polls this week and is currently ranked 28th in the latest ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll with 24 votes and 33rd in the Associated Press poll with nine votes. Utah State is riding a season-high 14-game winning streak and has won 18 of its last 20 games after starting the year with a 6-4 record. USU's 14-game winning streak is currently tied with New Mexico for the second-longest in the nation behind Butler who has won 18 straight. (via Utah State)
