In an upset that should surprise no one, the Boise State Broncos (3-2) prevailed over the Rebels (3-2) by a score of 60-50. Boise never led until there were 6 minutes remaining in the game but never looked back after that.
Senior forward Mladen Armus, who entered the game averaging 8 points and 7 rebounds per game, imposed his will late, finishing with 11 points and 13 boards. Senior forward Abu Kigab found similar success with 12 and 8.
But the story wasn’t the Broncos as much as it was the Rebels. Ole Miss had nine assists on the day, was outrebounded by nine (giving up twelve on the offensive side).
