IDAHO FALLS, ID. — For the final time in the non-conference slate, the Gaels (9-2) played away from home, renewing hostilities with Boise State (7-3) in Idaho Falls for the second consecutive season. Like a season ago, the Gaels started slowly in the Gem State, falling behind by 13 in the first half, before rallying back to go ahead in the second. The Gaels led with less than 30 seconds to go in regulation, and in overtime, but each time, the Broncos were able to counter, eventually earning a narrow 67-65 victory in OT.
The Broncos got out of the gates hot, shooting well over 50% for a majority of the first half, and leading by double-digits from the 6:21 mark to the 2:04 mark, when Luke Barrett hit just the third Saint Mary's three of the half.
