Exciting Facts and Such
1. Here we go
After beating 4-seed San Diego State in the quarterfinal and 1-Seed New Mexico in the Semi-final, the Broncos will now face Colorado State, the last team that has beaten the Broncos. The winner of this game will go on to the big dance as an AQ, while the loser will have to sweat Selection Sunday on the bubble.
2. Resume Watch
Winning this game puts us in the field as an AQ, and losing this game will make it a very close call but maybe still possible. Winning the MW is also the only way we avoid the much-dreaded trip in Dayton, so ideally the team takes care of business.
3. Double Champs?
The Broncos have a chance to win a MW championship in both sports in the same season for the first time. The last time the Broncos won a conference championship in both sports was the 1994 season when Boise State had a Big Sky championship in football and won the Big Sky tournament in basketball.

Horrifying that we have to play him again. He was the sole reason they beat us in Boise when he put up a career-high 36 points, of which he did on 72% shooting and 57% from 3.

Say no to Nique
Do whatever it takes to shut this man down.

Keep this going, getting into lanes has helped us win these tournament games.
Score Prediction
Sure, the Rams won by 10 in Boise, but beating a team twice in a short span is a lot easier said than done. Colorado State has been the best Mountain West team as of late, but their magic ends now.
Boise State 77, Colorado State 73
But what are your thoughts? Let us know in the comments!
Did Boise not even make the NIT?!
more than likely declined to play in the new College Basketball Crown tournament in Vegas
I’m really not much of a basketball fan, but I do try to follow and support the Broncos. All Boise had to do yestarday was win. But under Leon they don’t know how to win when it counts.
😴 Well, that’s that. Thanks for playing. Anyway, let’s get back to Spring Football. Honestly, Boise needs to bring back Baseball & Wrestling. It would be nice to see the Broncos at the NCAA Wrestling Championships this weekend. * BTW, I see our former WR, Cam Camper, took his talents to South Florida so we’ll see him Opening Weekend in Tampa. I kind of understand Prince Strachan accepting some NIL money & going to USC to play in the Big Ten. But going to USF to play in the AAC? How much NIL money could have have received?

BSU has looked good against George Washington today. They started out slow, but by half way through the 1st half they poured it on and never really looked back. Even caught Leon smiling. They look like and are playing like the better team.
How’s that PAC12 looking?

Nothing about Boise State in the Las Vegas Classic (or whatever it’s called).
Nothing about Boise Pro Day or Ashton Jeanty’s workouts. Nothing about Andrew Simpson & Braxton Fely transferring?

We’re still alive! All of us are just busy at the moment.
What are the odds we can get a thread / article this week about the Spring Game, roster, etc, etc? 🙂
