Utah State’s 79-71 victory in front of a sellout crowd of 10,270 at the Spectrum secured the regular-season sweep of the conference’s perennial powerhouse program.

Akanno scored a career-high 26 points and led the Aggies to a gusty, gritty 79-71 win over the Aztecs. He shot 9-of-12 overall and 7-of-9 from the 3-point line. Akanno received a water bath in celebration of his big night during his postgame television interview.
