BOISE, Idaho – Boise State couldn't overcome a cold shooting night from the field as Colorado State was able to grab the 76-62 win Wednesday night at Taco Bell Arena.

The Broncos shot 39.7 percent from the field, going 27-of-68. The team was also just 5-of-27 from three (18.5%), as well.

Justinian Jessup led the way with a career-high 25 points. The performance gives him his fifth 20-point game of the season. Alex Hobbs (12 points) and RJ Williams (10 points) also finished in double figures for the Broncos.

Nico Carvacho had 19 points and 14 rebounds to lead five Colorado State players in double figures.

Boise State trailed 33-26 at the half after Jessup was able to pace the home team with 11 points in the first 20 minutes of play.

After trailing for most of the second half by double digits, Boise State mounted a run late and cut the deficit to seven at 62-55 with 5:42 to play, but CSU was able to re-extend the lead and eventually claim the win.

The Colorado State victory was the first for the Rams in Boise since 1991. The Bronco loss gives the two teams a split in the conference regular season. Boise State claimed the 70-68 win back on Jan. 29 in Fort Collins, Colo.

Boise State will now go on a two-game road trip, first facing UNLV on Saturday, March 2 with tip set for 7:30 p.m. PT at the Thomas & Mack Center. The game will broadcast on CBS Sports Network.
