The dream season for the Broncos isn’t over yet. The Boise State team that is oft-snakebitten in the Mountain West tourney pulled out 3 nailbiters in 3 days to win the tournament championship...their second championship of their already-historic season. It was your classic defensive battle against the Aztecs of San Diego State (who you’ll remember the Broncos defeated earlier in the season by scoring only 42 points) and like the rest, it came down to the last few seconds. Marcus Shaver Jr. was called for a charge on a successful layup that might’ve put the game away and San Diego had a chance to win it with 28 seconds left, but the defense held and the Broncos snuck away with a 53-52 win and their first ever MWC tournament championship and added to their program-record win total as well—27!
