Boise State Broncos Set to Challenge Montana Lady Griz at Dahlberg Arena
As the Boise State Broncos prepare to face off against the Montana Lady Griz at Dahlberg Arena, fans are eagerly anticipating what promises to be a thrilling encounter. The Broncos, coming off a mixed bag of performances in their recent outings, have shown both resilience and areas for improvement that could play pivotal roles in this upcoming game.
In their last game on March 13th against the San Diego State Aztecs, BSU narrowly missed victory with a final score of 69-72. Despite this loss, there were positive takeaways for the Broncos. They demonstrated strong teamwork with an impressive 22 assists and managed to out-rebound their opponents by one board. However, turnovers were a glaring issue as they gave up possession 20 times compared to SDSU's nine.
The previous quarterfinal match on March 12th saw BSU secure a win over the Wyoming Cowgirls with a score of 62-54. Their three-point shooting was particularly notable at an impressive 47 percent success rate from beyond the arc. This sharpshooting coupled with their ability to capitalize on turnovers—scoring 21 points from these opportunities—was instrumental in their victory.
Looking back further to March 11th against Utah State Aggies, BSU dominated with an emphatic scoreline of 85-49. Dominance in points in paint (52) and second-chance points (19) showcased their ability to control the interior play effectively.
As they head into Missoula, it's clear that if BSU can maintain their defensive prowess while tightening up ball security, they stand a good chance of overcoming MONT's home-court advantage. The Lady Griz will undoubtedly be prepared for battle but facing an opponent like Boise State who has shown such versatility could prove challenging.
The key matchup will likely hinge on whether BSU can replicate its high assist numbers and three-point efficiency while reducing turnovers which have been costly in tight games.
Fans should mark their calendars for this exciting clash scheduled for March 20th at Dahlberg Arena; tip-off is set for 7:00 PM MDT. Those unable to attend can catch all the action live as it unfolds before them—a game not to be missed by any supporter of women's basketball excellence.
