Utah State is ranked No. 25 in the latest AP men’s basketball poll. | KSL.com LOGAN (KSL.com) — The Utah State men’s basketball team has started the 2024-25 season on a roll, unlike many before it, and national recognition finally arrived Monday. The Aggies are ranked No. 25 in the latest Associated Press men’s basketball Top 25 poll, where they received 119 points. Utah State is currently on a four-game winning streak. The most recent victory came against Fresno State on Saturday; before that, the team won three consecutive road games against Saint Mary’s, San Diego State and Nevada. Aggies coach Jerrod Calhoun said last week that his team hasn’t gotten much respect throughout the season despite beating formidable opponents, and that the team’s body of work “is as good as anybody in the country.” Now, the rest of the country might begin to take notice. Utah State plays on the road against San Jose State on Tuesday at 8 p.m. MST.
