For nearly 36 minutes, it looked like luck might change for the Boise State men’s basketball team.
Instead, the Broncos ended up on the wrong end of the scoreboard for the 20th time this season — a program record — after a 77-69 loss to No. 14 Nevada in the quarterfinals of the Mountain West Tournament on Thursday at the Thomas & Mack Center.
At 13-20, the Broncos surpassed the previous mark of 7-19 set during the 1980-81 season when the team played in the Big Sky.
Boise State has lost in the Mountain West Tournament quarterfinals four consecutive seasons.
