Broncos to Face San Francisco at the Chase Center
11/20/2024 10:00:00 AM | Women's Basketball
WHAT'S NEXT:Â Boise State women's basketball will compete in an NBA arena when it travels to Chase Center, home of the Golden State Warriors, to face San Francisco in a neutral-site matchup as part of the USF Legacy Tournament. The game will tip off on Nov. 21 at 5 p.m. MT and will be broadcast on ESPN+ and 670 KBOI AM.
THE OPPONENT: San Francisco enters the contest with a 2-2 record. The Dons are 0-2 against Mountain West foes on the year – they dropped their season opener to Colorado State, 52-47, on Nov. 4 and are coming off a loss to San Diego State, 73-62, on Saturday. Debora dos Santos leads San Francisco, averaging 12.0 points and 7.3 rebounds per game.
IMPRESSIVE START:Â The Broncos are 4-0 for the second-straight season, marking the first time the program has had consecutive 4-0 starts since 1973-74 and 1974-75. Boise State will look to start the year with five-straight wins for the ninth time in program history, five of which have come under head coach Gordy Presnell.
THE MILESTONES CONTINUE:Â A win over the Dons would mark the 250th career victory for Presnell since joining the Mountain West. Presnell, who coached his 600th career game as the head coach of the Broncos on Monday, has the fourth-most victories in league history.
LAST TIME OUT:Â Four Broncos reached double figures as Boise State cruised past College of Idaho 86-34 on Monday. Libby Hutton shot a perfect 7-of-7 from the floor to finish with a game-high 15 points in the victory, while Tatum Thompson recorded her first career double-double with 11 points and 11 rebounds. Natalie Pasco and Teryn Gardner added 12 and 10 points off the bench, respectively.
ON TOP OF THE NATION:Â Boise State is picking up right where it left off last season on the defensive end of the floor. Bronco opponents are shooting 15.0% from beyond the arc on the year, giving Boise State the second-best 3-point percentage defense in the country. The Broncos are tied for third nationally averaging 8.3 blocks per game.
DEFENSIVE PROWESS:Â Fifth year Abby Muse enters Thursday's contest also ranked third nationally in both blocks per game (4.5) and total blocks (18). The Brentwood, Calif., native has swatted 5+ shots in nine games dating back to last season, the most among active Division I players.
IT TAKES A TEAM:Â Boise State is averaging 38.0 bench points per game, the 12th-highest total among Division I programs. The Broncos are receiving 51.5% of its scoring from its bench this season, the 15th-highest mark in the nation.Â
ON TAP:Â Following the contest at the Chase Center, Boise State will return home to face Weber State on Sunday, Nov. 24 in ExtraMile Arena. The contest will tip off at 2 p.m. MT.
