Boise State’s senior trio of Nick Duncan, James Reid and Matt Grooms didn’t get the sort of Taco Bell Arena send off they had envisioned.
The Broncos cut a 14-point second half deficit against Fresno State to three behind 13 second half points from Paris Austin and nine from Marcus Dickinson. But the Bulldogs’ Deshon Taylor scored 12 second half points, including a backbreaking 3-pointer with just over 3:00 to play that sent Fresno State to a 74-67 win.
Boise State’s (18-10, 11-6) loss ensures that either Colorado State or Nevada will win the Mountain West regular season title.
