SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP)-Justin Bean had 18 points and 14 rebounds, and No. 25 Utah State bounced back from its first loss of the season by beating San Jose State 71-59 in the Mountain West Conference opener.

The Aggies fell 81-73 last week at Saint Mary’s in a matchup between two of the top mid-major teams in the country. They fared much better in their return to the Bay Area by running away from the Spartans in the second half.
