Exciting Facts
1. Net Rankings
Broncos check in at #57 to start the year, and it’s only up from here. NET rankings are usually pretty weird to start the year but conference play looks like it’s gonna be a lot of fun.
2. 3 “P5” Wins
Three “P5” wins is the most ever for a Broncos squad and it’s only December. Could be a special group as we keep our eyes on March.
3. Triple Digits
The last regular season meeting with EOU came in 2017, and the Broncos won that one casually 104-65. Wouldn’t mind having two zeros at the end of the final score.
4. Another Conference Player of the Week
Max was cooking a lot more than minute-Rice with his career high 25 point performance against Texas A&M, and it earned him conference POW honors.
Streaks
Boise State – Won 5
EOU – Won 3
Player to Watch
Phillip Malatare, G
Hard to find a ton of stats on EOU, but Phillip leads the team in arguably the most important stat, points, with 16.4 per game.
Key to victory
- I just hope they all have fun: I’m not gonna even entertain the thought of a loss here. Score some points, clear the bench, have a good time.
Score prediction
Going off the last score (albeit 5 years ago) I don’t think this one will be pretty. Expect to see the bench though, so it might not be astronomical.
Boise State 92, EOU 65
