Boise State Broncos to Face New Mexico Lobos at Albuquerque's The Pit

As the Boise State Broncos prepare to face off against the New Mexico Lobos at The Pit in Albuquerque, fans are eager for what promises to be a thrilling encounter. Coming off a recent victory against Fresno State Bulldogs with a score of 60-53 on January 20th, the Broncos have shown resilience and an ability to close out games effectively.

The win over the Bulldogs was characterized by a strong second half where Boise State outscored their opponents by seven points. This kind of performance is exactly what will be needed when they take on the Lobos. In that game, BSU demonstrated their defensive prowess, holding Fresno State to just 53 points and showing that they can maintain intensity throughout all four quarters.

However, it's important not to overlook BSU's setback against San Diego State Aztecs on January 14th where they were defeated with a score of 42-55. That loss highlighted some areas for improvement, particularly in offensive consistency and rebounding. Against UNM, Boise State cannot afford such lapses if they wish to come away with a win.

One aspect that could play into BSU's hands is their recent road performance against UNLV Rebels on January 17th. Despite losing with a final score of 61-73, there were positive takeaways from that game as well. The Broncos managed an impressive total rebound count of 41 compared to Rebels' 27 but struggled with turnovers which ultimately cost them the game.

For Boise State fans looking ahead to this matchup against New Mexico Lobos, there are reasons for both optimism and caution. While BSU has shown they can compete defensively and on the boards – crucial factors in any basketball game – ball security will need significant attention during practice sessions leading up to this next challenge.

The upcoming clash at The Pit is set for January 21st at 8:00 PM local time (MT). Fans unable or unwilling to brave Albuquerque’s altitude can catch all the action from wherever they prefer as no specific broadcast networks have been announced for this game yet.
