Hutchison leads Boise State to blowout victory in opener

Boise State pounded Northwest Christian (NAIA) 85-46 at Taco Bell Arena Saturday afternoon in the first game of the regular season.

Chandler Hutchison led the Broncos with 23 points, while freshmen guards Alex Hobbs (11 points) and Justinian Jessup (10 points) also finished in double figures. Hutchison was extremely efficient in the opener, knocking down nine of his 10 field goal attempts, both of his three point attempts and also added 11 rebounds, three assists and three steals.

After much speculation, head coach Leon Rice decided to start Nick Duncan, David Wacker, James Reid, Justinian Jessup and Chandler Hutchison, and it appears it will be his starting five moving forward.
