🔼 Finish Strong. Boise State women’s basketball will host its final two nonconference home games over the weekend. The Broncos will take on Utah Tech on Friday at 1 p.m. before facing off against San Diego on Sunday at 2 p.m. The team is coming off a fourth-place finish at the Gulf Coast Showcase where Dani Bayes converted a game-winning three-point play with 1 second remaining to push Boise State past Illinois State, 79-76, in the opening contest of the tournament.

🔼 Mark Your Calendars. Earlier this week, Boise State Athletics released the 2025 men's tennis spring schedule, which features 26 matches. This year's slate includes contests against three Big Ten schools, a match at Virginia – the 2022 and 2023 national champion – as well as the typical regional competition. Depending on results, the Broncos could face nine teams that advanced to the NCAA National Team Championship tournament in 2024.

🔼 Expanding Legacy and Impact. The family of former Bronco football fullback Dan Paul will endow an annual scholarship for student-athletes. The Paul family is already a special member of Bronco Nation, as their late son is honored at each football game when the "Dan Paul Hammer" is carried out of the tunnel prior during team introductions.

🗣️ "Daniel was a force of nature – he lived big, he loved big, and he played big. It's our hope to continue to grow his legacy at Boise State, and give back to the place he lived, loved and played with his big and mighty heart." - Peggy Paul
