BOISE, Idaho —The Broncos returned the favor and kept their Mountain West Championship hopes alive.
The Lobos, meanwhile, went cold on the worst of nights and are running out of chances at ending their nine-year NCAA Tournament drought.
Boise State used a 17-4 run late Wednesday night to pull away and then iced the game with free throws in the final two minutes of an 82-77 men’s basketball win over New Mexico in front of a lively announced ExtraMile Arena crowd of 9,825.
The Lobos (20-8, 7-8 Mountain West) are now guaranteed to finish no higher than the No.
