Boise State’s first true road game of the 2018-19 season didn’t go as expected.
The Broncos missed their first nine shots and fell behind by as many as 31 points in a 95-71 loss to Washington State on Saturday at Beasley Coliseum in Pullman, Washington.
Boise State (5-2) entered the game No. 12 in the nation in RPI, while Washington State (4-4) was 286th. But those rankings didn’t translate to the hardwood.
“The game’s mental and the rim shrunk on us a little bit, and we didn’t handle that very well,” Boise State women’s basketball coach Gordy Presnell said in a postgame radio interview on 1350 AM.
