Broncos Open Road Trip at Wyoming

WHAT'S NEXT: Boise State men's basketball will play at Wyoming, Saturday, Feb. 24. Tipoff from the Arena-Auditorium on the campus of the University of Wyoming is at 5:30 p.m. on the Mountain West Network.

LAST TIME OUT: The Broncos scored 41 points off the bench and put together one of the most balanced performances in the Leon Rice era during an 82-50 win over San Jose State. It was the fourth 30-point win of the season as Boise State shot 53.7% from the field and held the opponent to under 32.7% for the first time in a conference game under Rice.

900 THE MAGIC NUMBER: A win Saturday would mark the 900th victory as a Division I program for Boise State. The first season at the highest level of college basketball was 1970-71, and the Broncos have gone 899-695 (.564) since.

CONTROL OUR FATE: The Broncos still control their fate in the Mountain West title hunt. As long as Boise State wins its final five games it will clinch a share of the conference regular season title with Utah State. The Mountain West does not utilize tiebreakers for regular season titles, only for determining the seeding of the conference tournament.

Friday Feb. 23- Arrive in Laramie (Evening)
Saturday Feb. 24- Play Wyoming (Evening)
Sunday, Feb. 25- Bus down to Colorado Springs (Morning)
