BOISE, Idaho - Boise State plays its final regular-season contest, and hosts UNLV for Senior Night Monday at 7 p.m. at ExtraMile Arena. The Broncos will get a full week off before returning to action Monday, March 2, in the Mountain West Tournament quarterfinals.
2-SEED IN THE SIGHTS
Boise State clinched a first-round bye at March 1-4's Mountain West Tournament with Feb. 15's win at San Diego State, and needs just a victory Monday over UNLV to clinch the No. 2 seed.
SAYING GOODBYE TO SENIORS
Monday's contest against UNLV will mark the final regular-season home game for Boise State's six-woman senior class of Jayde Christopher, A'Shanti Coleman, Braydey Hodgins, Riley Lupfer, Marijke Vanderschaaf, and Ellie Woerner.
Combined, this class has won six Mountain West titles (two regular season, four tournament) and made four NCAA Tournament appearances (Vanderschaaf was a true freshman and redshirted in the 2014-15 campaign).
Hodgins and Lupfer each have two All-Mountain West nods, and a Mountain West Tournament Most Valuable Player award apiece, while Vanderschaaf was All-Mountain West Honorable Mention in 2016-17.
The group also accounts for four bachelor's degrees, as Christopher (communications), Coleman (criminal justice), Hodgins (criminal justice), and Vanderschaaf (interdisciplinary studies) have already earned undergraduate degrees. Â
LAST TIME OUT
Boise State ran its winning streak to four, its longest in Mountain West play this season, with Saturday's 95-76 win at New Mexico.
A'Shanti Coleman and Riley Lupfer scored 20 points piece to pace five Broncos scoring in double figures for the second-straight game. Boise State's 95 points were also a season high.
Point guard Jayde Christopher posted her second-straight double-double, and third of the season, scoring 14 points with 10 assists, while Braydey Hodgin added 13 points and Jade Loville 10.
WHO'S NEXT
The Broncos host UNLV (13-14, 9-7 MW) for Monday's Senior Night at 7 p.m.
The Lady Rebels stemmed a four-game losing streak with a 72-67 victory against San Diego State Saturday, led by a 15-point, 18-rebound double-double from Rodjanae Wade.
Wade averages a double-double on the year, scoring 14.4 points and grabbing 11.1 rebounds a game. Leticia Smith averages 12.9 points per game.
SERIES HISTORY
The all-time series between Boise State and UNLV is evenly split at 10-10.
UNLV captured the first meeting this season, coming back from an 11-point, fourth-quarter deficit to beat the Broncos, 66-65, in Las Vegas.
SECOND GO-AROUND
Boise State will aim for a split of the season series Monday against UNLV.
Boise State, with a win Monday, will avoid being swept by a conference opponent for the first time since going 0-2 against Colorado State in 2015-16.
IN THE NATIONAL RANKINGS
Boise State has found itself, as well as a handful of players, ranked fairly high in early national stat rankings through Feb. 22.
As a team, the Broncos rank ninth in assists (491). The Broncos' 45.0 field-goal percentage ranks 21st, and the team's 205 3-pointers are 36th in the country.
Individually, redshirt senior point guard Jayde Christopher is second in the nation with 232 assists, and with 8.00 assists per game. Senior guard Riley Lupfer is third in the country with 94 3-pointers made, and fourth with 3.24 triples made per game.
FOUR-STRAIGHT WITH 20 WINS
Saturday's win at New Mexico was Boise State's 20th of the season, marking the program's fourth-straight 20-win campaign and fifth in the last six seasons. The only exception over this six-year span was a 19-win campaign in 2015-16.
This year also marks the program's 10th 20-win season all-time.
FIVE WITH 20 (AGAIN)
For the second-straight game, Boise State had five players score in double figures Saturday at New Mexico. It marked the fourth time this season in which the Broncos had pulled the feat.
A'Shanti Coleman and Riley Lupfer each scored 20 points to lead the way, while Jayde Christopher had her second-consecutive 14-point game, Braydey Hodgins scored 11, and Jade Loville hit 10.
In Wednesday night's win over San José State, Coleman led the way with 20 points, while Lupfer hit six 3-pointers to finish with 18, and Christopher (14), Mallory McGwire (13), and Loville (11) rounded out the group.
CHRISTOPHER'S BACK-TO-BACK DOUBLE-DOUBLES
Redshirt senior point guard Jayde Christopher achieved a fairly rare feat last week, posting back-to-back points-assists double-doubles.
The Federal Way, Wash., native scored 14 points in each win over San José State and New Mexico, while passing out 12 assists against the Spartans, and 10 against the Lobos.
It marked an incredible week for Christopher, who averaged 14.0 points, 11.0 assists, and 6.5 rebounds a game, while shooting 61.1 percent (11-for-18) from the field.
MOUNTAIN WEST ASSISTS RECORD IN SIGHT
Christopher's torrid assists pace of late (44 over the last four games) has put her on the cusp of setting the Mountain West's single-season record.
After setting Boise State's single-season assists record with her 193rd helper back on Feb. 12 at Air Force, Christopher has since upped her season total to 232, just 11 back of the current Mountain West single-season mark of 243 set by New Mexico's Cherise Beynon in 2017-18.
COLEMAN WREAKING HAVOC IN FEBRUARY
Redshirt senior forward A'Shanti Coleman is making her case for her first-career, and, honestly, long-overdue, All-Mountain West pick with her play this month.
After posting her second-straight 20-point game Saturday at New Mexico, Coleman is averaging 15.0 points and 6.3 rebounds while shooting 59.7 percent (46-for-77) from the field over seven February games.
In Mountain West play, Coleman is averaging 12.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 1.12 blocks a game while shooting 55.0 percent from the field and 80.0 percent from the line. She has scored in double figures in 12 of Boise State's 17 conference games.
LUPFER IS NOT MESSING AROUND
Senior guard Riley Lupfer just cannot miss this month, and that should have the rest of the Mountain West worried.
Lupfer has scored in double figures in six of seven February contests, averaging 16.6 points a game while shooting 45.9 percent (28-for-61) from 3-point range.
The Spokane, Wash., native has gone 6-for-10 from deep in each of the last two games, and has hit at least five 3-pointers in four of seven games this month.
