At Moby Arena, home of the Rams, fans witnessed a game where both teams fought hard to dominate each half. The Boise State Broncos managed to put up 30 points in the first half and added another 32 in the second, but it wasn't enough to overcome their opponents who scored 37 and then 38 points respectively. Despite this setback, there were notable performances from Boise State players who showcased determination on court.


The Broncos demonstrated solid play inside with 30 points coming from within the paint and an impressive fast break performance contributing nine points to their total score. Their shooting from two-point range was efficient with a fifty percent conversion rate (18 out of 36 attempts), but they struggled beyond the arc with only five three-pointers made out of twenty attempts for a twenty-five percent success rate.


Defensively, Boise State managed one block and five steals but committed nineteen personal fouls over the course of play. They also secured twenty-nine total rebounds—eight offensive and eighteen defensive—with one additional team defensive rebound credited to them.


On offense, free throws were another area where improvement could be seen; eleven free throws were made from seventeen attempts resulting in sixty-five percent accuracy at the line. Turnovers were relatively low for Boise State with eight total turnovers during play; however, they did manage to convert these into eleven points off turnovers.


In contrast, Colorado State's performance was marked by higher efficiency across various aspects of their game plan. They boasted an impressive seventy percent on two-point field goals (23 out of 33) and fifty-six percent overall field goal percentage (27 out of 48). Additionally, they excelled at free throw accuracy hitting ninety percent (17 out of 19). Their assist-to-turnover ratio stood at two compared to Boise State's one.


Looking ahead for fans eager to follow their team's progress: The next challenge for Boise State will be against Utah State Aggies at Dee Glen Smith Spectrum in Logan on February 10th at 7:00 PM Mountain Time Zone.
