The Washington State Cougars showcased a solid performance on their home court. They managed to secure 40 rebounds compared to the Broncos' 37, which included an impressive count of 33 defensive rebounds. The team's field goal percentage stood at 43 percent with successful execution on both two-point (48 percent) and three-point attempts (29 percent). The free throw line was also friendly to the Cougars as they capitalized on these opportunities, shooting an efficient 78 percent.


Offensively, the Cougars were able to put up 28 points in the paint and added another 14 through fast breaks. Their defense translated into offense as they scored 11 points off turnovers while committing only ten themselves. Despite fewer assists than their opponents (nine for Washington State versus eight for Boise State), they maintained better control over ball possession.


Boise State Broncos put up a resilient fight throughout the game. They shot at a lower field goal percentage of just under 36 percent but were slightly more accurate from beyond the arc with a three-point shooting percentage of exactly one quarter of their attempts finding success. From the charity stripe, they made ten out of thirteen shots resulting in approximately a rounded figure close to that achieved by Washington State.


The Broncos also demonstrated defensive capabilities by blocking three shots and stealing five times from their adversaries. However, this was not enough to overcome their rivals who had six steals and two blocks contributing significantly towards securing victory.


As fans look forward to future matchups, attention turns towards an upcoming challenge for Washington State as they prepare to face Utah Utes at Jon M. Huntsman Center in Salt Lake City on December 29th at around half-past six in the evening Pacific Time Zone time zone. This encounter will be broadcasted live on Pac-12 Network for supporters eager to follow every play.
