The primary strength for Utah State this year is offense. The team is ranked 51st in efficiency on that end of the floor, and they'll rack up more than 113 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. Utah State will routinely look to penetrate, pound the ball inside, and score from as short a distance as possible. The ball-club is 14th in the NCAA in ratio of near-proximity attempts to total field goal attempts. If you do allow them to get to the inside, they are undoubtedly capable of making you pay. Presently rated in the top-50 in near-proximity shooting percentage, they make roughly 63.9% of their attempts from short-distance vs. AO. Utah State is also one of the best field goal shooting teams that opposing defenses will have the displeasure of facing this season. The squad is ranked 16th in the country in field goal percentage, making approximately 48.7% of their attempts vs. AO. Utah State lastly allows very few breakaway opportunities for the opposition, which typically translates to fewer turnovers. The team's rating vs. AO for potential breakaway points allowed off of steals is 8.85, which ranks #20 in the country.

Utah State plays at roughly the same level defensively as they do offensively. The team ranks 82nd nationally in defensive efficiency, allowing about 100 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Utah State does an outstanding job shutting down the opposition from behind the arc. They rank fifth in the NCAA in defensive three-point percentage, allowing AO to make just 30.1% of their attempts from afar.
