Corban's Spivey Word scored a game-high 32 points on 14-of-25 shooting.

Early on, the game was a tight contest until Julian Bowie with a lay-up eight minutes into the game helped lift Boise State to an 11-3 run. The Broncos opened up a nine-point advantage when Ugbo put back a second-chance opportunity that made it 25-16.

Corban closed it to a five-point game at 25-20 with 8:38 to go in the first half, but the Broncos gave themselves a double-digit lead for the first time at 32-22 with 6:06 left and never allowed the Warriors to come within 11 for the remainder of the game.
