🔷 ONE BIG THING

Boise State runner Joe Hudson has been named the Ford Boise State Student-Athlete of the Week following his 11th place finish at the NCAA West Regionals, which earned him a trip to the NCAA Championships.   His time of 29 minutes, 25.1 seconds in the 10K helped lead the Broncos to a sixth-place team finish. 

Hudson was also named an All-Mountain West and All-West Region selection, only one of two Broncos to earn the honors this season.

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Clutch Shots. Boise State women’s basketball is 3-0 for the first time since the 202-21 season thanks to a 63-55 victory over UC Riverside. In what was a back-and-forth game much of the way through, the Bronco’s leading scorer, Natalie Pasco, put the Blue and Orange ahead for good after hitting back-to-back 3-pointers in the final two minutes of game.

Monday night, the Broncos will conclude the four-game homestand with a matchup against Pepperdine for a chance to extend the win streak.

🔼 The Dark Knight Rises. After sitting out the first game due to injury, Boise State basketball’s Tyson Degenhart put on the mask and balled out in his season debut against San Francisco. Check out some of his best moments in his return to the court for the Broncos.

🔼 Get to Know the Foes. Featuring two regular season tournaments and the Mountain West Championship, Boise State softball is loaded with interesting home matchups for the 2024 season, based on their schedule which was released Wednesday.  Bronco softball will start with 21 games on the road to start the season and will return for the home-opener against Kennesaw State on March 7.
