While the Bows " rested", the rest of the League caught up by playing their 8th league game. Utah State beat San Jose by 19 on the road to continue their unblemished record in the WAC. Its their 22nd straight league win. Interestingly, they won this game with Tai Wesley having just an average game with only 9 points and 6 rebounds. The Bows, like the rest of the league, will have their hands full beating the Aggies.

Surprisingly, La Tech won its first league game by beating Idaho by 15. The loss Idaho had to Boise at home must be wearing on the Vandals. Boise lost in overtime to New Mexico State in Las Cruces, while Nevada kept Fresno on its WAC losing streak , winning by three at home.

So as we enter the second half of the league season, we have Utah State all alone at the top and a bunch of teams at 5-3 ( Nevada, Idaho,  Boise, and New Mexico State). They are followed by UH and Fresno, with San Jose and La Tech fighting for the final playoff spot.

It will be very interesting to see how much the events of the past week will affect the Bows. The death of Miah's father and the fact that he has apparently chosen to play could be a big factor in the emotional level of both the team and the crowd. It will take, however, almost a perfect game on the floor to beat the Aggies. Can it be done. Sure. The Bows gave them all they could handle in Logan to start the WAC season. And they didn't have Amis.
