The Boise State men’s basketball team had shot better than 50 percent 61 times under coach Leon Rice before the Broncos began play at the Cayman Islands Classic.
On Monday against Creighton, they made it 62 — and lost for just the third time doing it.
The Broncos shot 51.6 percent from the field, but the Bluejays shot 57.9 percent, leading by as much as 21 in a 94-82 win.
“They’re a really good offensive team and we knew that. … They’re a little ahead of us that way, in the way they play together,” Rice said Monday in a postgame phone interview.
