When Braydey Hodgins talks about her first NCAA Tournament appearance with the Boise State women’s basketball team, all she can do is laugh.
“I just remember going in for like 5 minutes and having five turnovers,” Hodgins said. “It was the worst game ever.”
While Hodgins did indeed commit five turnovers in an 83-56 loss to UCLA at Pauley Pavilion in 2017, it actually took her 13 minutes to do so, and she returned to the bench having gone 0-for-5 from the floor with zero points, three rebounds and three assists.
The stats are irrelevant now, but the experience remains priceless as Hodgins and the 13th-seeded Broncos (28-4) prepare for their third straight NCAA Tournament appearance on Saturday against host and No.
