In an impressive display of athleticism and tenacity, Utah State's men's basketball team has secured a monumental achievement in their program's lengthy history. Last night, they clinched an unprecedented 10-0 start to their season, surpassing any previous squad since the team's inception in 1903. Mason Falslev, the local standout from Sky View High School, was the driving force behind the Aggies' 88-67 rout of South Florida by scoring a striking 27 points, KUTV reports.
Adding to his impressive point tally, Falslev also contributed nine rebounds, nine assists, and three steals — just shy of a triple-double. Complementing his performance was Ian Martinez, who dropped 15 points and served up five assists. Karson Templin also chipped in with 12 points, going 5 of 8 from the field, according to information from ABC4. Meanwhile, South Florida's Quincy Adekokoya led his team with 12 points, while teammates Kasen Jennings and Brandon Stroud contributed 11 and 10 points, respectively.
Falslev echoed this sentiment as he reminisced about his formative years cheering for the Aggies, "I grew up watching the Aggies, and that’s something I can hold on to forever, said Falslev, a former Sky View High School star. “To look back and say I was part of the best start in Utah State history, that’s pretty cool,” he stated, as reported by ABC4. The dedication to the team's success over any single player's accolades is what seemingly sets this group apart from its historical counterparts.
