What has to happen tonight if Boise State, a six-point underdog, is to upset Nevada in Reno?

The likelihood of this being important in tomorrow night’s Boise State-Nevada game is akin to what it was Saturday: what happens beyond the arc will be make-or-break.

A widespread turnstile issue
Attendance appears to be on the rise finally at Boise State, with the Broncos coming off their two largest crowds of the season, including the 7,560 for Utah State last week.
Coaching cream at the top of the MW
Just about two-thirds of the way through the Mountain West season, it appears to be a two-horse race for conference Coach of the Year.
