In their recent games, the Broncos have displayed a potent offense and solid defense. Their victory over Cal State Fullerton Titans was particularly commanding, with an 88-65 scoreline that highlighted their scoring prowess. The team shot an impressive 49 percent from the field and an outstanding 44 percent from beyond the arc. Their rebounding was also dominant, pulling down 44 rebounds in total with a significant contribution from offensive boards leading to second-chance points.


Another home game saw them outplay Northwestern State Demons in a high-scoring affair that ended at 95-54 in favor of Boise State. The shooting efficiency was remarkable; they made 80 percent of their two-point attempts and nearly 60 percent overall from the field. This level of accuracy will be crucial against UNLV.


Defensively, Boise State has been just as formidable. In these games, they've managed to keep turnovers low while forcing opponents into difficult shots – evident by holding Northwestern State Demons to just 37 percent shooting.


The ExtraMile Arena has proven to be a fortress for Boise State where they can leverage crowd support and familiarity with playing conditions – factors that could play into this upcoming game's dynamics.


As we look ahead, it's clear that maintaining these trends will be key for Boise State if they are going to extend their winning ways at home against UNLV Runnin' Rebels.


Fans can catch all the action live on January 17th at ExtraMile Arena in Boise or tune into CBS Sports Network channel 221 for national coverage of what is shaping up as another showcase event for this formidable team.
