Exciting Facts and Such
1. Just Keep Winning
The Broncos were off to a rough start in conference play. Now they look to be on the right track, winning 2 straight against UNR and then Fresno State. The Broncos currently sit at 7-4 in conference play, making them good for 5th in the Mountain West, and 15-7 overall. Ideally both of those will be extended tonight.
2. Resume Watch
If it wasn’t for a last-second Boston College 3-pointer we would be sitting a lot prettier right now, but you can’t change the past. The Broncos’ chances of an at-large require them to be perfect or at least as close to perfect as you can get. Sitting at a record of 15-7, our record against each quadrant currently sits at: Q1: 2-3, Q2: 0-3, Q3: 5-0, and Q4: 7-1.
3. The Good Times
We saw UNLV a month ago on January 7th at home, taking a 81-59 W. (Also off-topic but what logo did this YouTube thumbnail give us???)

The electric sophomore has been putting up a solid 16 PPG. Bronco defense has typically struggled against scoring guards, but held him to 10 points the last time out.

We beat them down; do it again!
Shoot a higher percentage from downtown
The Broncos rank 265th in 3P% with a percentage of 32.5%, which has been costly for them this season. Introductions of Peanut Carmichael and breaking of slumps has begun to change that number. Let’s keep it trending up tonight.
Score Prediction
Playing a team we beat by 22 points a month ago, I expect nothing less than a win and then some.
Boise State 79, UNLV 66
