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.
Boise is comparatively a placid place
It must be nice for Boise State to be home in Taco Bell Arena tomorrow to face Wyoming. The Pit can be a tumultuous scene—on many counts.
How do the Broncos do it without Duncan?
Watching the Boise State-New Mexico game Tuesday night, you got the feeling there was a missing piece for the Broncos.
Lobos open door—Broncos can’t walk through
Coaches talk a lot about the energy that has to be expended when a team digs too big a hole.
Broncos take something special to The Pit
Little-reported fact: Boise State’s victory Saturday was its 16th of the 2016-17 campaign, earning the Broncos their fifth straight winning season and their sixth in seven years under Leon Rice.
Good start, shaky middle, big finish
It was another example of the beginning of a game telling you nothing about what was to come.
Air Force isn’t any easier in basketball
You think football was fun? Probably the low point of Boise State’s 2015-16 hoops season came a year ago at…Air Force. It was a 61-53 loss that saw the Broncos make just six baskets in the final 18 minutes of the game while shooting 27 percent.
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.
If he ain’t broke, don’t start him
Over the past three games, Boise State’s Paris Austin has averaged almost 26 minutes and 18.7 points and has shot 65.5 percent from the field and 80 percent from the free throw line.
