Broncos Face Fresno State on Saturday
1/10/2025 10:00:00 AM | Women's Basketball
WHAT'S NEXT:Â Boise State women's basketball will conclude its two-game road swing with a matchup against Fresno State on Saturday, Jan. 11. The contest will tip off at 2 p.m. MT and will be broadcast on the Mountain West Network and 670 KBOI AM. Â
LAST TIME OUT:Â The Broncos (12-5, 2-2 MW) staved off a late rally to defeat Utah State, 82-77, on Wednesday night. Natalie Pasco (25 points) and Mya Hansen (21 points) each recorded season-highs and combined to bury nine of the squad's 10 3-pointers in the victory.Â
SCOUTING REPORT:Â The Bulldogs (10-6, 1-2 MW) are coming off their first conference victory of the season after defeating San Jose State, 77-64, on Wednesday. Mia Jacobs is the centerpiece for Fresno State, leading the conference in points per game (18.0), rebounds per game (9.8) and double-doubles (10). Jacobs is also efficient from the charity stripe, converting 86.3% of her attempts.
PAIR OF ACCOLADES:Â The accolades keep coming in for the Broncos. Abby Muse, who became the program's all-time rebound leader on Jan. 4, earned another milestone on Wednesday after becoming the third player in MW history to block over 300 career shots. Mary Kay Naro also pulled down five rebounds in the win over Utah State, becoming the only player in program history with 700 career points, 500 career rebounds and 500 career assists.
COACHING MILESTONE:Â Head coach Gordy Presnell enters the contest with 257 victories as a MW head coach, the fourth-most in league history. The Broncos' winningest head coach can tie Don Flanagan (New Mexico, 1999-11) for third place in conference history with a win against the Bulldogs.
ON A ROLL:Â Mya Hansen has entered league play on a mission. The junior guard has scored over 17 points in three of her four conference games, and her 14.8 points per game in league play are the 10th among MW players. The Billings, Mont., native has been incredibly efficient from beyond the arc, converting 58.3% (7-of-12) of her 3-point attempts in her last two games.
HEAT CHECK:Â Natalie Pasco will look to continue her hot streak against Fresno State, after making a season-high five 3-pointers against the Aggies on Wednesday. Her five 3-pointers are tied for the most a MW player has made in a conference game this season, and marks the sixth time in the junior's career that she has drained 5+ long balls.
IT TAKES A TEAM:Â The Broncos are 11th in the nation averaging 31.6 bench points per game. The Broncos have scored 20+ bench points in all but two games, have scored 30+ points from their reserves in 10 games, and have totaled 40+ bench points in five contests. Additionally, seven different Broncos have recorded at least one game with over 15+ points, and Boise State has had six different single-game leading scorers over the season.Â
