Justinian Jessup isn’t changing his mentality because of a change in the lineup.
Jessup’s 31 starts in 32 games as a freshman last season for the Boise State men’s basketball team was a program record, but the 6-foot-6 sophomore guard has come off the bench in the Broncos’ first two games of the 2017-18 regular season.
The new role seems to suit him just fine.
Jessup scored a team-leading and career-best 22 points to spearhead Boise State’s 90-69 victory against Southern Utah on Sunday afternoon at Taco Bell Arena as head coach Leon Rice collected his 144th win, the second most in program history behind only Bobby Dye (212).
