Men's Hoops to Face New Mexico in The Pit

WHAT'S NEXT: Boise State men's basketball plays its fourth ranked opponent of the month – third in the last four games – at The Pit, Wednesday night against No. 19/20 New Mexico. The game will be televised on FS1 and carried over the airwaves on 93.1 FM.

LAST TIME OUT: Utah State scored the first six points of overtime, and the Broncos couldn't find the necessary turnover in the final 30 seconds in a 90-84 overtime loss to the 18th-ranked Aggies on Saturday. Tyson Degenhart and O'Mar Stanley scored 24 and 20 respectively.

I FELL IN THE PIT: Boise State is seeking its fourth win in The Pit – the previous wins came in 2022 (71-63), 2018 (73-71) and 2015 (69-59). This marks the second time the Broncos have faced a Lobos team ranked in the AP poll at The Pit. The previous was a 60-50 loss to No. 19 New Mexico in 2013 (Feb. 16).

ON THE CUSP OF 300: Tyson Degenhart (296) and Chibuzo Agbo (295) are on the cusp of scoring their 300th point of the season. Degenhart has played in 19 games this season while Agbo has played in 20. In the Leon Rice era, only six players have scored 300 points in the first 20 games of a season: Derrick Alston, Jr. (2019-20), La'Shard Anderson (2010-11), Anthony Drmic (2012-14), Chandler Hutchison (2016-18), Derrick Marks (2012-15) and James Webb III (2015-16).

APPROACHING 900: Boise State is approaching its 900th win as a Division I program. The Broncos are 895-693 (.564) since moving up to Division I in 1970-71.
