LAST TIME OUT: The Broncos picked up their second victory at Lawlor Events Center since 2016-17 in a defensive, 64-56 win at Nevada on Friday. Tyson Degenhart scored 20 points as Boise State held the Wolf Pack to their second-lowest point total on the season to secure two Quad 1 wins on the week.

Boise State last loss at home 433 days ago (as of tipoff) in a two-point loss in the 2022-23 season opener.
