📈 STOCK UP
🔼 Double Time. Boise State men’s golf won the Lake Las Vegas Invitational by four strokes at 23-under, their second team championship of 2025-26, marking the first time the Broncos have doubled up on team and individual titles in the same season since 1992-93.
Cole Rueck ran away with the individual crown at 16-under, firing a personal-best 64 in round two. The senior now has 15 career top-10 finishes, tied for second most in program history. Reese Knox surged 12 spots on the final day to tie for 13th, and freshman Ryan Shepherd impressed in his collegiate debut at 4-under. Next up: the Palmetto Intercollegiate in Aiken, S.C. (March 9-10).

🔼 Up Next. Boise State women’s basketball fell, 66-64, to MW regular season champion San Diego State last night despite leading 29-21 at halftime, their first loss this season when ahead at the break. The Aztecs opened the third quarter on a 10-0 run to seize control, and Boise State couldn't quite claw all the way back. Tatum Thompson tallied 14 points, nine rebounds, four assists, and a career-high five steals, while Natalie Pasco added 14 points and Libby Hutton chipped in 13. Saturday's home finale against Utah State (2 p.m. MT, MW Network) is next.

🔼 Time for a Title. 56 Boise State track & field athletes are headed to the Mountain West Indoor Championships (Feb. 26-28) in Nevada, looking to build on last year's two event titles and five podium finishes. Kaiya Robertson leads the charge, ranking sixth nationally in the mile and 46th in the 800m, while Landon Helms holds the 13th-best mark in the country in the heptathlon. Aayden Simmons (34th, high jump) and Raekwon Weatherspoon (35th, long jump) also carry top-50 national rankings into the meet. Both the men's and women's teams finished seventh at last year's MW Indoors. Live coverage is available on the Mountain West Network.
🔼 Locked In. Boise State men’s basketball guard RJ Keene II spoke after the team’s win over Wyoming about the team’s passion on the court this season. According to RJ, this team has “something to prove.”
🔼 Ranked & Ready. Boise State women’s tennis checked in at No. 59 in the national rankings this week! The Broncos are 5-2 this season with a 3-1 home record. Boise State will be back on the court on Saturday, Feb. 28, to take on Gonzaga in Spokane at noon.
