The Broncos (17-10, 8-6 MW) led 76-61 with 6:01 remaining before shooting 1-of-9 from the field and 0-for-3 from the free throw line in the final 5:21 as the Lobos ( 16-10, 9-4 MW) closed the night on a 19-2 run.
New Mexico guard Elijah Brown finished with 26 points, including 13 during the late run. After a James Webb III tip-in with 3:07 remaining pushed Boise State's lead to 78-70, Brown scored the next nine points to put the Lobos ahead with 30 seconds left.
