🔷 ONE BIG THING
Boise State men’s basketball continues the season on Tuesday night with an 8:30 p.m. tip off at Fresno State. Last Saturday, the Broncos defeated San Diego State for the fifth time in the last six meetings with a 67-66 win at ExtraMile Arena. Boise State held on for the one-point win after holding the lead for 34:47 of game time.
Boise State is looking to win three straight road games for the first time since a six-game streak during the 2021-22 season. As it stands, the Broncos are a half-game back of first place in the Mountain West standings, and a win against Fresno State would set up a battle for first place later this weekend.
