Utah State men’s basketball secured the NIT Season Tip-Off championship title with a 61-57 victory over North Texas, thanks to a career-best performance by guard Mason Falslev. Falslev scored 28 points, earning him the tournament’s Most Valuable Player award, while graduate guard Dexter Akanno also made the all-tournament team. Despite trailing at halftime, the Aggies rallied back in the second half, holding off North Texas with strong defense and free throw shooting. Utah State’s dominance on the glass, led by Akanno’s career-high 11 rebounds, and contributions from Ian Martinez helped secure the win. The team will now head home for a series of games before opening Mountain West play against Wyoming. Fans can follow the team on social media for updates and highlights.
