- Analysis
- This is a play on the UTAH ST. AGGIES for our CBB Round 1 Game of the Year. There were a few teams that were under seeded and Utah St. is near the top of the list. The Aggies won the Mountain West Conference regular season and tournament championships, finished No. 26 in the NET Ranking and No. 29 in the KenPom Rating yet come in as a No. 9 seed. They slipped up toward the end of the regular season with three losses in four games but clinched with a win over New Mexico and then got its big time revenge against the Rebels enroute to the tournament title. Aggies guard Mason Falslev is one of the best players in the country no one has heard of. Villanova finished third in the Big East Conference and that was by default as it was a very down year and while it defeated Wisconsin out of conference, that was the only good win, finishing with two Quad 1 wins, two fewer than Utah St. 10* (771) Utah St. Aggies
