🔷 ONE BIG THING

With 21 seconds left in the game, sophomore guard Mya Hansen scored a reverse layup to secure the 68-64 victory on the road over San Jose State. The win improved the Broncos’ record to 12-6 on the season and 3-2 in conference play.

🗣️ "It can be frustrating when you get off to a good start and then struggle to maintain it, but that's basketball. It's a game of runs. It comes down to who can hold the runs." - Mya Hansen

Natalie Pasco scored a game-high 18 points, Elodie Lalotte poured on 17 points and the game’s clutch scorer, Mya Hansen, netted 12 points in the victory. Boise State improved to 11-3 this season when winning the rebound battle, and last night, Abby Muse pulled in six boards to move into fourth place all-time, passing Marla Curtis (1981-85) with 806 career rebounds.

Next up, Boise State will return to ExtraMile Arena for a pair of home games, starting with a 3 p.m. tipoff on Saturday, Jan. 20 against Utah State.
