WHO'S NEXT
Boise State faces No. 4 Fresno State in Tuesday's first semifinal at 7 p.m. MT in Las Vegas

Fresno State defeated No. 5 UNLV, 66-55, in the quarters Tuesday, as Candice White led four Bulldogs scoring in double figures with 17 points. Genna Ogier and Maddi Utti each had 13 points, while Aly Gamez added 10.

THIS SEASON'S MEETINGS
Boise State swept the season series from Fresno State, beating the Bulldogs, 72-60 in Fresno on Jan. 19, then claiming an 83-76 win in Boise in Feb. 13.

GOING FOR THE THREE-PEAT
Boise State continues its quest for a third-straight Mountain West Tournament title Tuesday as it faces Fresno State in the semifinals.

A tournament title this week would make the Broncos just the second team in conference history to pull a three-peat, matching the 2003-05 run of New Mexico.

It would also mark four Mountain West Tournament crowns total for Boise State, which would put the program second all-time in conference history, behind New Mexico's five.

BOISE STATE AT THE MOUNTAIN WEST TOURNAMENT
Boise State is now 11-4 all-time at the Mountain West Tournament after Monday's 72-67 quarterfinal win over Nevada.

After going 1-3 at the event from 2012-14, the Broncos have gone 10-1 over the past four tournaments, winning titles in 2015, 2017, and 2018. The Broncos are also currently on a seven-game winning streak at the tournament.

BIG GAME BRAYDEY
Junior guard Braydey Hodgins proved Monday why her moniker, "Big Game Braydey," holds true.

Hodgins set the Mountain West Tournament single-game record with 37 points Monday, breaking the 17-year-old record of 36 held by UNLV's Constance Jinks. Hodgins also tied tournament single-game records for free throws made (14) and attempted (15), while going 10-for-18 from the field.

Last year, Hodgins averaged 16.7 points over Boise State's 3-0 title run, including a 25-point outing in the semifinal win over Colorado State.

MARCH BELONGS TO THE BRONCOS
