Jerrod Calhoun has been asked a dozen or more times by Salt Lake and national writers about USU's success despite coaching stability to prompt mini-features on the subject. Here's his latest answer to that question.

𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐊-𝐓𝐎-𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐊!! 🏆🏆 Utah State does it again! Second straight Mountain West Postseason title for the Aggies! ☑️ 2026 Mountain West Postseason Champions! ☑️ 2026 Mountain West Regular Season Champions! #AggiesAllTheWay | #PZF | #ShowMe

Utah State head basketball coach Jerrod Calhoun addressed his name being linked to possible other head coaching jobs. "When's the last Utah State coach that hasn't been rumored for a job?" #AggiesAllTheWay @kslsports #MarchMadness

@HipD21 @greggers1868 @tvbudge Gary Clark has played two of his best games the last two as well!

@greggers1868 @tvbudge Daddy Drake and the resurrection of Elamin have been huge the past 4 games. Drake has found a new level.

MJ and Mason are getting most of the love but it was Drake’s steady hand and leadership that led the Aggies back in the 2nd half against both SDSU and Villanova. Dude just said in both games “we’re not losing today”

THROW IT DOWN @USUBasketball

Wait… watch her face 👀

The Mountain West has always had conference representatives on site whenever and wherever one of its teams is playing in the NCAA Tournament. Utah State, which is leaving for the Pac-12, beats Villanova in a Mountain West venue (Viejas Arena) ... and NO ONE IS HERE.

That Villanova shot 75 percent from the field for most of the game, hit 15 3’s and still lost by double digits

Saint Louis and Utah State have put on two of the most impressive performances of the first round. And their reward? No. 1 seeds up next.

Per the Stathead game log database, Utah State is the only team in NCAA Tournament history to win a first round game in which the team made less than three 3-pointers and its opponent made 14+ threes. Utah State shot 2/16 from three today while Villanova made 14/30. Only one other team has won in any round under that criteria (Gonzaga over Indiana in 2006).

SEE YOU SUNDAY! #ShowMe x @MarchMadnessMBB

The @usuHURD got LOUD from the quad! We love our Aggies! #usuaggies #marchmadness #loganutah

My biggest regret in life is not watching more Utah State basketball this season.

A look at The HURD in San Diego

I feel badly for Villanova because Utah State had no business being a 9 seed

😂😂😂

This is Jerrod Calhoun's first DI NCAA tournament victory as a head coach, and only Utah State's second victory since at least 2004 while hitting at least 12 fewer threes than its opponent. A terrific display of physicality and toughness from the built not bought Aggies

.@USUBasketball IS GOING TO ADVANCE!

SHOW US THE HANDLES MJ COLLINS! @USUBasketball
