Former Charles Hays Rainmaker Liam McChesney had one of his first glimpses of the passion of Utah State basketball fans on Thursday evening, taking to the court in the pre-season event known as Aggie Madness.
The evening served to introduce both the Men's and Women's basketball program to the Utah State faithful, with a range of skills competitions featured on the night to get Aggie's fans pumped up for the coming NCAA season.

The night of skills took place in front of a packed arena and featured a short eight minute scrimmage to go along with a three point shooting contest and the wildly popular slam-dunk competition.
For McChesney success came in that slam-dunk competition where he took on four other Aggie's in the event before giving way to the eventual competition champion Australian Sean Baristow.
The night's grand finale was a dunk contest between Bean, Bairstow, junior center Kuba Karwowski and freshman forward Liam McChesney, with Bairstow and Karwowski heading into the finals. The winner was decided by the crowd after Bairstow and Karwowski earned the same scores from the judges in the first two rounds of the finale, with Bairstow earning the crown.
A full account of the Showcase can be found from Utah State's Athletic Department here.
The Prince Rupert baller is about to enter his first season of top tier American college basketball, with the Aggies hitting the court for workouts through the month, with the work ahead leading up to their pre season debut with The College of Idaho on October 30th.
