Boise State Looking for Consistency in Mountain West Play

Boise State enters this matchup at 15-10 overall and 7-7 in Mountain West action. The Broncos have gone 3-2 over their last five games, earning wins over New Mexico, Nevada, and San Jose State while falling to UNLV in overtime and Grand Canyon. They have shown the ability to score in bunches but have struggled to string together consistent defensive performances.

The Broncos average 79.3 points per game while allowing 74.6. They shoot 45% from the field and pull down 35.8 rebounds per contest. Boise State averages 13.9 assists per game, showing balanced offensive structure, but they generate just 5.0 steals per contest, limiting transition opportunities.

Defensively, allowing nearly 75 points per game has been a concern, particularly on the road. Boise State has been competitive in conference play but will need a sharper defensive effort against one of the Mountain West’s top teams.
