LOGAN, Utah (AP) — Emmanuel Omogbo had 20 points and 16 rebounds and Colorado State never trailed on its way to a 64-56 win over Utah State on Saturday night.
Omogbo had his Mountain West Conference-leading 10th double-double of the season and the 18th of his career.
"Compliments to Colorado State," Utah State coach Tim Duryea said. "They played tremendously hard and tough. We played very young, very immature. We play some young players and most of the time they haven't played like young players. Across the board, not just the young players, all played very young.”
Gian Clavell added 15 points and Prentiss Nixon scored 14 — each made a pair of 3-pointers for the Rams (12-8, 4-3).
Colorado State had a 19-6 lead to start the game, went into halftime up 35-23 and had its largest lead at 48-32 with 13:44 left.
Utah State (8-10, 2-5) had a 7-2 run to cut the deficit to 58-52 with 1:15 left, but the Rams made 6 of 7 free throws from there to hold on for the win.
Jalen Moore had 14 points and Koby McEwen had 13 for the Aggies, who made 3 of 19 from 3-point range.
"It's another tough loss. Frustrating," Moore said. "We got down in a hole in the first half and couldn't cut it back to single digits until the end. It makes it hard to come back with so little time left."
