Boise State wins Mountain West Championship, clinched NCAA Tournament berth

From March 6 to March 10, the Thomas & Mack hosted the Mountain West Tournament where the Lady Rebels played for the championship title.

The Lady Rebels lost in the quarterfinals to the No. 7 seed Fresno State Bulldogs, 53-51. The Bulldogs went on to play in the championship game against fourth-seeded Boise State Broncos on Friday.

For the fourth time in five seasons, the Bulldogs women’s basketball team have played in the Mountain West championship game, winning the championship title twice.

But, with 17 points from Boise State’s senior Brooke Pahukoa, the Broncos rallied past the Bulldogs, winning 66-53 and becoming the Mountain West Champions.
