Falslev’s 33 points fuel Utah State’s 120-82 rout

Utah State built a 39-point halftime lead and cruised past UC San Diego on November 13, improving to 4-0. The Aggies led 73-34 at the break after shooting 73.5% in the first half, and their advantage reached 48 points in the second half.

Senior guard Mason Falslev led the way with a career-high 33 points, 12 rebounds and four assists in 34 minutes. He made 12 of 16 shots, including three 3-pointers, and left the game with five minutes remaining. Falslev said he was grateful for his teammates and credited the team’s passing and movement for making its offense look effortless.

Solomon Callaghan scored 22 points, making five 3-pointers, while Karson Templin added 16. Dallin Hall had 15 points, and Will Hornseth scored 12. Utah State made 21 of 38 attempts from 3-point range, tying the program’s single-game record, and shot 61.8% overall.

Coach Ben Jacobson called the first half “quite a half of basketball” and said it was fun to watch his players perform. The Aggies outrebounded UC San Diego 38-26, while the Tritons made 13 3-pointers. Treysen Eaglestaff scored 16 points for UC San Diego, which fell to 2-1. Leo Beath added 15 and Rahmir Barno had 10.

The result reversed UC San Diego’s previous visit to Logan, where the Tritons won 75-73 in December 2024. Falslev said he reminded teammates of that loss before the game.
