The Boise State women’s basketball team is going to the NCAA Tournament for the third year in a row.
The top-seeded Broncos knocked off No. 3 Wyoming 68-51 in the Mountain West Tournament championship game Wednesday night to secure the conference’s automatic bid.
It was Boise State’s third game in three days at the Thomas & Mack Center, but easily its most dominant. Wyoming only led briefly, 5-2, and fell behind by as many as 28 points.
Junior guard Braydey Hodgins was named the tournmament MVP. She had a single-game tournament record 37 points in the Broncos’ quarterfinal win over Nevada, then chipped in 17 in the semifinals against Fresno and finally a team-leading 16 against the Cowgirls.
