Box Score

BOISE, Idaho – Nevada made 12, 3-pointers to defeat Boise State, 76-66, Tuesday night at ExtraMile Arena.

The Broncos (21-9, 12-5 MW) were led by a double-double from Tyson Degenhart – he finished with 15 points and 12 rebounds – but the Wolf Pack (25-6, 12-5 MW) tied its season high for 3-pointers in a conference game.

Quotable

"We have a great opportunity ahead of us with playing San Diego State on the road," said Tyson Degenhart. "We know that our season isn't over yet with one last game to take care of. We'll let the loss sit tonight, watch the film back and then continue to get better and prepare for Friday."
"Steve (Aflord) has them playing great, McIntosh had the chance to start a few games and now is coming off the bench with a rhythm," said head coach Leon Rice. "They're an interesting story because they came into the league as one of the worst three-point shooting teams to now arguably the best in the league. They played a great game today and that's what's needed to win in this conference."
