Jacobson Brings NCAA Tourney Success to Utah State

Utah States new head coach, Ben Jacobson, brings a wealth of experience from his twenty-year tenure at Northern Iowa, where he made the NCAA Tournament five times and secured four wins, including a historic upset over Kansas. Jacobson, a Missouri Valley Conference all-time leader in wins and tournament victories, takes over from Jerrod Calhoun, who left for Cincinnati. The Pac-12 rebuild, featuring powerhouses like Gonzaga and San Diego State, attracted Jacobson to Utah State, a top non-power job in the West with a history of NCAA Tournament appearances. Jacobson faces off against Colorado State, led by his former player Ali Farokhmanesh, and is expected to maintain Utah States tradition and connect with Aggie Nation.
