📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop. Four players scored in double figures, propelling Boise State MBB to a 71-62 win over UNLV (and the two-game season sweep) on Tuesday night. The Broncos (16-7, 8-4 Mountain West) collected their third straight victory and third win on the road this season.

Tyson Degenhart paced all Broncos with a team-high 16 points. He added seven rebounds and four assists in nearly 35 minutes of game action.

RJ Keene led all players with 10 rebounds—the second time in the last three games he's registered double-digit boards.
 
🏀 : FULL RUNDOWN

🔼 She Owned the Floor. Senior Emma Loyim earned Mountain West Co-Floor Specialist Of the Week following her performance against Utah State and Sacramento State on Jan. 31.

Loyim scored a 9.875 on floor to secure a share of the event title at the Broncos' first home meet on Jan. 31. The senior matched her season-high as she collected her second weekly honor of the season, both on floor. This marks her sixth-career MW specialist of the week accolade and fifth on floor.

🔼 Oh, Baby! Did you happen to catch the baby race during the halftime of the Boise State MBB game? From tears to army crawls and everything in between, it’s worth a watch!

🔼 Boise State Ballers Are Back. Boise State opens its 2025 season under fourth-year head coach Justin Shults with a six-game road trip for the NorCal Kickoff hosted by Sacramento State and UC Davis. The Broncos are 9-7 all-time in season openers.

The squad is looking to build off their past successes, having won 251 games since the beginning of the 2017 season, the most by a Mountain West school in that span. The Broncos captured the regular-season title in 2018 and 2023, finished runner-up in 2022, MW Championship in 2024, and earned NCAA regional bids in 2018 (automatic) and 2019 (at-large).
