Utah State men's basketball posted its seventh highest-scoring performance in program history on Tuesday night, defeating Utah Tech 118-86. The victory at the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum was led by a career-best 35-point performance from graduate guard Dallin Hall.
The win marked the 400th career victory for Aggie head coach Ben Jacobson, making it the highest-scoring game of his 21-year career. In his first year with the Utah State program, Jacobson became one of 28 active Division I head coaches with 400 or more wins. This performance was the highest-scoring game for Utah State since 2019 and the team's second-highest scoring output since 1986.
Dallin Hall scored 21 points in the second half alone, finishing with 35 points on 12-of-16 shooting from the floor. Hall also recorded five rebounds and seven assists in 31 minutes of play. Senior guard Mason Falslev contributed 24 points, seven rebounds, five assists, and one steal, scoring 17 of the team's first 18 points in the first half.
Other double-figure scorers for the Aggies included sophomore Kingston Tosi, who had 15 points and eight rebounds, and junior Will Hornseth, who recorded 10 points and four rebounds. Junior guard Solomon Callaghan scored 18 points, including three 3-pointers in the first four minutes of the second half. The Aggies out-rebounded the Trailblazers 44-37 and shot 48.8 percent from the field.
The Aggies demonstrated high efficiency, recording 22 assists and only two turnovers. This was the lowest turnover total for a Utah State team since at least the 2004-05 season. Utah State is one of only two teams in Division I during that period to score 118 points with two or fewer turnovers.
Utah State will host UC San Diego on Friday, Nov. 13, at the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum. Tipoff is scheduled for 8 p.m.
