Fresh off a dominant 98-70 victory at Air Force, Boise State heads to Las Vegas with its eyes on a Mountain West Tournament title and an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
Though the Broncos (19-10) started the season with little to no experience outside of senior Nick Duncan, head coach Leon Rice’s team fought for the regular-season title with Nevada and Colorado State until the final week of the season. Boise State earned a first-round bye in the Mountain West Tournament with its third-place finish and faces San Diego State or UNLV at 9:30 p.m. Thursday (CBS Sports Network).
