The Aggies (18-6, 8-2) face the Boise State Broncos on Feb. 11. The Broncos (2-8, 11-12) are currently tied for last place in the Western Athletic Conference with Hawai'i. The Broncos started WAC play with seven straight losses and almost didn't win a game in the month of January. At home this year the Broncos knocked off the University of Idaho and Fresno State, but then lost to Idaho on the road, 79-55, Feb. 6. However, it is not the upand-down Bronco season that rests on the Aggies' minds. It is the fact that the Broncos ended the Aggies 19-game winning streak last season in Boise. The Aggies had the chance to claim the WAC Regular Season Title outright, but were forced to wait until they faced Hawai'i. The Aggies defeated the Broncos on Jan. 16 at the Spectrum, 81-59. Junior guard Brian Green and sophomore forward Brady Jardine played solid off the bench. Green had 14 points while Jardine had 10. The Aggie bench was a big factor in the game, as it outscored the Bronco bench, 35-15. Utah State only scored two points in the first four minutes of the second half and the Broncos went on an 11-2 run to cut the lead to eight points. After the sluggish start, the Aggies woke up and finished the night shooting 56.2 percent from the field and limited the Broncos to 40.8 percent from the field. While senior forward Ike Okoye leads the Broncos in scoring, the Aggies may need to watch out for Bronco's starting point guard Anthony Thomas. Thomas is only averaging 7.6 points per game and fewer than three assists, but it seems that when Thomas does well, the Broncos do well. When asked if this was accurate gage, coach Stew Morrill said: "I think that's fair. He had a big game against us, as I recall last year there." Anthony scored 18 points on 6-of-14 shooting against the Aggies last season in Boise. If the Aggies continue to play as a team, it will be a recipe for success against the Broncos. However, if the Aggies don't play team basketball, it may be a recipe for disaster. "You have to keep playing solid basketball," Morrill said. "The nature of our team is we have to have a lot of guys contribute. So if three or four guys don't play well, that is a recipe for a loss." Tip-off against the Broncos is set for 7 p.m. at Taco Bell Arena in Boise, Idaho. -ty.d.hus@aggiemaiLusu.edu Iron Eagle: Jardine powering his way into significance Stickelers Answer Fund Raisin Wednesday, Feb. 10, 2010 utensils and gift sets (quick mixes, cookbooks, soy wax candles and stoneware too)!

Now as a sophomore, Jardine tied his career-high of seven points, coincidentally during the Aggies second game of their holiday tournament. The next night Jardine set a new career-high with eight points and a week later notched a new careerhigh of 11 points in the Aggies' next game against Western Oregon. Morrill credits the sudden jump in production to CLARK PEST CONTROL NOW HIRING FOR OUTSIDE SALES POSITIONS IN: *BAKERSFIELD, CA *LANCASTER, CA *VISALIA, CA *FRESNO, CA *SANTA CLARITA, CA SUMMER JOBS MAY - AUGUST Jardine settling into playing at the NCAA level and just enjoying the game rather than being his own worst critic. Echoing Morrill's assessment, Jardine said: "I just threw caution to the wind. I was worrying too much." In the past 13 games for the Aggies, Jardine has not only sustained that sudden burst in production, he has continued to elevate his production. He has averaged 8.6 points and 5.2 rebounds per game, as well as provided crucial defense and play off the bench in critical WAC games since his holiday season breakout. Jardine was especially effective in last Saturday's 11-point victory over Nevada, where he scored 13 points, pulled down eight rebounds and was the primary defender in the second half against preseason WAC Player of the Year Luke Babbitt. Babbitt shot just 3-8 and logged all five of his personal fouls in the second half of that game. He was also the victim of an emphatic block by the hand of Jardine. Even though Jardine has elevated his game to the level of stardom, Morrill remains optimistic of what the future may still hold for his go-to big man off the bench. "He's just a sophomore," Morrill said. "He's going to do nothing but get better. As his feel improves and his skill level improves, he could be an AllWAC type of player." When it comes to the work that his super-sophomore must put in to be the best player he needs to be, Morrill plainly said: "Never was there a question of Brady not playing hard enough or Brady not having a good attitude. He's good as gold on all the things you want as a coach." Though he and his coaches say his game still has plenty of developing left to do, Jardine believes that he will continue to develop as long as he keeps working and enjoying playing basketball instead of worrying about making mistakes. "I've just been going out and enjoying it," Jardine said. "I've made mistakes, I still make mistakes, but I'm just trying to keep a smile and just play. I'm here to help the team win." His career has not yet even reached the halfway point, but the sophomore forward has already established himself as a standout player after starting from scratch at both his new position on the court and in the college game in general. If the strides he has made in just a year and a half are any indicator, college basketball looks to have much more fun in store for Jardine. - matt.sonn@aggiemausu.edu TC:114369 E - www.a-bay-usu.com (05) 15 40* C acb.e CONTACT TEAM LEADER PARKER FOLKMAN 208-221-7578 )31,v Ste 3N PARKERFOLKMAN@GMAIL.COM ClassifiedAdS tiq ry -0,,,...„._ ..__' ,,,,,,:.,.-1":,,,,,, ' , Utah State University ogan, Utah • www.aggietownsquare.com I&RCLARK ■ M CONTROL ma Please Note For more information -- including pictures, e-mails, phone numbers and additional details -- see complete listings at www.a-bay-usu.com Bicycles Where Utah Gets Engaged' S.E.
