KAMLOOPS, British Columbia – A 29-point effort from Tyson Degenhart led Boise State men's basketball to an 83-60 victory over Thompson Rivers University to close out the team's foreign tour to Canada, Thursday.

Degenhart led all scorers with efficient shooting of 57.1-percent from the field and from beyond the arc to go along with four rebounds. He made a pair of 3-point shots to start the third quarter to extend the Bronco lead.

A 14-0 Wolf Pack run cut Boise State's lead to 35-28 late into the second quarter, and the Broncos managed only six points through the majority of the quarter. A thunderous put-back dunk from RJ Keene in the waning seconds of the period concluded a 9-1 Boise State run to put the Blue and Orange up 44-29 as both teams went to the locker room at halftime.

O'Mar Stanley continued his strong debut this week with 16 points and eight rebounds against the Wolfpack. Keene added seven rebounds to go along with nine points and three assists as the redshirt sophomore continues his return after two years without appearing in a game.

Boise State scored 42 points in the paint and made seven 3-pointers as the offense continued to click on the trip. 17 points came off fast breaks to go along with 19 second-chance points.

Defensively, the Broncos held Thompson Rivers to shoot under 40-percent from the field and from three, and also forced 20 turnovers.

Boise State outscored opponents 310-187 and went undefeated over all three games in British Columbia.
