Story of the Game

Boise State held control for much of the game, jumping out to an early 8-1 lead and never relinquishing their position. The Broncos continued to extend the margin to as high as 13 with over ten minutes remaining in the first half. The Wolverines didn’t go quiet into the night, bringing the deficit back to seven as the half wound down, but a string of points by Shaver kept the lead at 11 as the buzzer sounded.

Both squads scored a bucket out of the break, but a three minute drought followed. Naje Smith converted some nice opportunities to help solidify the result. The Broncos’ largest lead bubbled up to 23, allowing big men Lukas Milner and Sadraque NgaNga to enjoy over ten minutes of game action.

Prediction

This should not be a game of concern for the Broncos and, frankly, this should be split wide open by halftime. However, they can’t look ahead to a looming matchup with Texas A&M this Saturday.

Boise State 83 - CSU Northridge 56
