The Fresno State men's basketball team carries a little momentum in to the opening of Western Athletic Conference play later this week. The Bulldogs ride a three-game winning streak into Logan to take on Utah State Thursday night.

15 games into the season, Fresno State has a record of 7-8. Rodney Terry is in his first year as head coach, and says there is a lot to like about his team.

Terry sees guys who work hard and play hard every night, with an emphasis on defense. He says his Bulldogs are a physical team that plays with toughness and grit, with an eye on winning championships.
