In front of the biggest crowd of the season* the Broncos men’s basketball team surged back into first place in the MWC by downing Utah State last night by a score of 79-70. It was a high-level chess match that most hoped for and expected as the teams traded the lead numerous times and rode top scorers Derrick Alston Jr. and Neemias Queta to the thunderous, if slightly muffled roar of nearly 700 fans. It was the Broncos’ 13th conference win and the one that put them tenuously back in first place in the conference, but they’ve got a rubber match against the Aggies tomorrow night and have to finish their season against a ranked San Diego State team with whom they’ve had a troubled past.
