Boise State put the finishing touches on their ninth blowout victory of the season on Saturday. They blew past the Cowboys 92-72. Winning may never get old, but Boise State sure is getting used to it with their third in a row.
Among those leading the charge was Tyson Degenhart, who scored 22 points along with two steals. Max Rice was another key contributor, scoring 16 points along with six rebounds and two steals.
Air Force can finally bid farewell to their seven-game losing streak thanks to their game on Saturday. They escaped with a win against the Lobos by the margin of a single free throw, 78-77. Air Force’s win was a heroic effort that saw the team overcome a 18.5 points disadvantage in the spread.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Air Force to victory, but perhaps none more so than Rytis Petraitis, who scored 15 points. Petraitis didn’t help Air Force’s cause all that much against the Rebels on Wednesday but the same can’t be said for this game. The team also got some help courtesy of Byron Brown, who scored ten points.
The Broncos’ win bumped their record up to 19-8. As for the Falcons, their victory ended a three-game drought on the road and puts them at 9-17.
Tuesday’s match is shaping up to be a scrappy match: Boise State have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 36.8 rebounds per game. It’s a different story for Air Force, though, as they’ve been averaging only 28.9 rebounds per game. Given Boise State’s sizable advantage in that area, the Falcons will need to find a way to close that gap.
Everything came up roses for Boise State against the Falcons when the teams last played on February 3rd as the squad secured a 94-56 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Boise State since the squad won’t have the home-court advantage this time around. We’ll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
