Hall Leads Historic Offense

According to Utah State University Athletics, the 118-point total was the team's highest scoring output since 2019, when the program scored 129 points against Eastern Oregon. This performance also stands as the second-highest scoring game for the Aggies since 1986.
Graduate guard Dallin Hall led the scoring effort with 35 points, marking a career high for the fifth-year player. Hall displayed extreme efficiency during his 31 minutes of play, shooting 12-of-16 from the field, 7-of-9 from 3-point range, and 4-of-5 from the free-throw line. His scoring included 21 points in the second half alone. In addition to his scoring, Hall contributed five rebounds and seven assists.

Other contributors in double digits included junior guard Solomon Callaghan, who finished with 18 points, two rebounds, and two steals.
