SERIES HISTORY: Friday will be the first meeting between Boise State and UNC Wilmington. The Broncos are 1-1 all-time against current members of the Colonial Athletic Association. The Seahawks' only two previous games against current Mountain West members both came against Wyoming, in 1983 and 2005. The 2005-06 season was also the last time UNC Wilmington played a road game in the Mountain or Pacific Time Zones.

BLACK FRIDAY BRONCOS: Boise State is playing on the day after Thanksgiving for the 19th time in program history. The Broncos are 12-6 all-time on Black Friday, including a 12-0 mark in home games, including wins under Leon Rice in 2013 and 2016.

SENIOR LEADERSHIP: Boise State scored 26 points across three overtime periods in its thrilling 82-76 victory Saturday, at Pacific. The Broncos' five seniors combined for 25 of the 26 points. Marcus Dickinson made two free throws at the end of regulation to force overtime, then scored nine points in the extra session, including a three-pointer that put the Broncos ahead for good in the third overtime.

WORKING OVERTIME: Boise State picked up overtime victories in consecutive games against BYU (Nov. 20) and Pacific (Nov. 23). It is the second time in program history the Broncos went to overtime in back-to-back games, previously losing both such games in 2013-14. The triple-overtime game at Pacific was the third game in Boise State history to go to at least three overtimes. Justinian Jessup (91) and Alex Hobbs (90) both played at least 90 minutes over the past two games, including Jessup logging 51 against Pacific.

SUCCESS AT THE LINE: Boise State boasts the top two free throw shooters in the Mountain West this season. Justinian Jessup leads the league at 93.3 percent, while Derrick Alston is second at 87.2 percent from the line.
