WHAT'S NEXT: Boise State men's basketball concludes its two-game road trip, Tuesday, at Air Force. Tipoff against the Falcons is at 7 p.m. MT on the Mountain West Network.

LAST TIME OUT: The Broncos shot above 50% from the field for the third-straight game in a 20-point win at Wyoming, 92-72. It was the fifth 20-point victory over the Cowboys in the series history. Tyson Degenhart led all scorers with 22 points as Boise State was +24 on the glass.

TIED FOR FIRST: Saturday's win moved Boise State into a tie for first in the conference standings. At 10-4 the Broncos are tied with Utah State in the standings with four games left to play. If Boise State wins out, they will clinch at least a share of the conference title.
