As the Boise State Broncos prepare to host the Nevada Wolf Pack at ExtraMile Arena, fans can anticipate a competitive game of women's basketball. The Broncos have shown a mixed bag of results in their recent outings, displaying both resilience and areas for improvement.
In their last game against the San Diego Toreros, the Broncos secured a win with 62 points to 54. Their defensive prowess was evident with seven blocks and eight steals, contributing to their victory. However, they struggled from the field with an overall shooting percentage of just 34 percent and were particularly challenged beyond the arc at 36 percent.
The previous encounter saw them fall short against UC San Diego Tritons by a narrow margin, scoring 56 points to the Tritons' 62. Despite this loss, there were positive takeaways including an impressive free-throw percentage of 82 percent and maintaining eight steals as in their prior game.
Looking further back to their match-up against Rocky Mountain College Battlin' Bears, Boise State emerged victorious with a scoreline of 67-46. Dominating inside play was key for them as they shot an exceptional 63 percent on two-point attempts and outrebounded their opponents by four boards.
The upcoming game presents an opportunity for Boise State to capitalize on its strengths such as inside scoring where they've been most efficient. Rebounding has also been consistent for them which could be crucial in controlling the pace of the game against Nevada.
ExtraMile Arena has proven to be a fortress for Boise State; fans will hope that home advantage plays its part once again. With solid defense being one of their hallmarks this season – averaging over seven blocks per game – it could very well be what tips the scales in favor of Boise State if they manage to contain Nevada's offensive threats.
