Exciting Facts and Such
1. Kinda one-sided, Isn’t it?
In the 45 meetings between these two programs dating back to 1988, the Broncos have come out on top 41 times, with all 4 losses coming on the road. Boise State is also 21-2 against the Spartans since Leon Rice took the helm. If things go right, the Broncos extend it to 42 wins tonight.
2. Resume Watch
If you had asked me about our at-large chances 2 weeks ago, I would’ve (like most) laughed in your face. But now? There’s a shot. Win here and win at least 2/3 of San Diego State, Utah State, or New Mexico the Broncos could be dancing in March without winning the conference. Fair to note, this path dangerously assumes no other slip-ups, but a team can dream! The Broncos’ current record against each quadrant is as follows: Q1: 1-3, Q2: 2-3, Q3: 5-0, and Q4: 7-1.
3. Last time we met
Last time in Boise, we whooped the Spartans 82-50 while holding future Bronco Alvaro Cardenas to 0 points.

Josh Uduje, G
The England product put up 22 points in the loss to Boise State earlier this season on 8/11 from the field. Should be interesting to see how we guard up against him this time around.
Keys to Victory
Play inside the paint
San Jose State does not have a lot of height among the players who get the minutes, so give it to Degenhart and let him work at it.
Keep improving that 3P%
Adding Pearson “Peanut’ Carmichael to the rotation has done wonders for how well we are shooting the 3, keep it up!
Score Prediction
The Broncos got caught in a tough one last time out in San Jose, but that’s usually a tough place to play. I expect us to come out on fire early and win easily.
Boise State 85, San Jose State 64
