🔷 ONE BIG THING

In the quarterfinal round of the Mountain West Championship, Boise State men’s basketball fell to New Mexico, 76-66. Tyson Degenhart led all Broncos in scoring with 23 points and finished the game with a double-double, adding 12 rebounds. Chibuzo Agbo, Roddie Anderson III and Max Rice all finished in double figures and combined for eight of the team’s 10 made 3-pointers in the matchup against the Lobos. Now, the Broncos will look to Selection Sunday to see where the team will be placed for the NCAA Tournament.

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Weekly Honors. Boise State women's golf’s sophomore, Leia Chung, has been named the Ford Boise State Student-Athlete of the Week for the second time. Chung was the individual co-champion at the Pizza Hut-Lady Thunderbird Invitational, finishing at even-par to tie for first in the field of 80. Her efforts helped the Broncos capture the team crown, finishing 10 strokes ahead of the second-place squad. This marked her first collegiate tournament title and second-straight event finishing at the top of the leaderboard.

🔼 Finally Home. After a month away from Boise, Bronco men’s tennis is back at the Appleton Tennis Center and will host Purdue today at 3 p.m. Boise State is coming off the Diablo College Tennis Invitational where the team finished with a 1-2 record, against three ranked opponents. The Broncos lead the all-time series against the Boilermakers, 2-0. Sam Sippel will take court one as he enters the week ranked 112th nationally.
