🔼 Season Sweep. Make it eight straight over Wyoming! Boise State men’s basketball rolled past the Cowboys 72-62 last night at ExtraMile Arena behind a balanced scoring attack led by Dylan Andrews' game-high 20 points on 6-of-9 shooting. Drew Fielder added 18 points, seven boards, and two blocks, while Javan Buchanan chipped in 17 and six rebounds. Trailing by seven in the first half, Boise State closed on a 10-2 run to take a halftime lead it never relinquished. The Broncos are now 17-1 when leading at the half and 12-0 when holding opponents under 70. Up next: a Saturday trip to Fresno State (6 p.m. MT, Mountain West Network).

🔼 Game Day. It’s a big one tonight at The X for Boise State women’s basketball! The Broncos host first-place San Diego State on Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. MT on Mountain West Network. Boise State is the MW's top scoring offense at 71.0 points per game, and Natalie Pasco leads the conference in three-pointers (70) while shooting a blistering 45.2% from deep. Full preview here.

The Broncos will be back on the course today to wrap up the tournament. Follow along here.
