LOGAN, Utah (AP) - Spencer Butterfield scored 10 points and grabbed a career-high 20 rebounds to lead Utah State past Texas State 77-61 on Thursday night.
Neither team could hold onto the ball very long, committing 19 turnovers apiece, but that didn't seem to bother the Aggies which took a 34-15 lead at halftime and led by as many as 26 points midway through the second half. Utah State (20-9, 10-7 WAC) scored 23 points off turnovers compared to seven for the Bobcats.
