The Boise State-Fresno State men’s game at Taco Bell Arena on Tuesday night didn’t just belong to the Broncos’ honored seniors.
It also belonged to a boy who did what a collection of Division I basketball players couldn’t do.
During the first half, an errant shot led to the game ball getting lodged behind the glass, between a camera and the backboard. Several of Fresno State's tallest players attempted to get the ball down with assistance from a broom. Boise State players tried to dislodge it with another ball, but to no avail.
Instead, it was a young Boise State fan who was lifted in the air and behind the glass, where he played the role of hero.
