Two teams coming in on polar ends of the spectrum left everyone wondering how the game would play out. Boise State was playing their 5th game in 11 days, coming off of a single day of rest after edging Utah State on Thursday. On the flip side, San Diego State had not played a game since they routed Colorado State by thirty on January 8th due to COVID postponements.
Boise State jumped out to a 6-0 lead, and it stayed that way until the 14:01 mark when Nathan Mensah cashed a layup, allowing the Aztec faithful to finish their tradition of clapping until San Diego State makes a basket.
