The Boise State Broncos showed remarkable offensive efficiency throughout the game. They shot an impressive 49 percent from the field and an even more notable 44 percent from beyond the arc.

The Spartans were not without merit; they excelled particularly in fast-break situations where they outscored Boise State seven to twenty-one and showcased strong two-point shooting accuracy at fifty-six percent.
