Boise State to Open Home Mountain West Play

WHAT'S NEXT
Boise State returns to ExtraMile Arena for its Mountain West home openers, hosting Nevada and Grand Canyon. The Broncos face the Wolf Pack on Dec. 31 at 2 p.m. MT and the Antelopes on Jan. 3 at 2 p.m. MT.

SCOUTING THE WOLF PACK
Nevada enters the game having dropped six of its last games, sitting at 4-8 overall. The Wolf Pack is still seeking its first conference and road win of the season, owning 0-2 and 0-4 records, respectively. Defensively, Nevada holds opponents to the second-lowest three-point percentage in the Mountain West at 27.0%. Boise State leads the all-time series 48-22.

SCOUTING THE LOPES
Grand Canyon enters at 2-10 overall and 1-1 in conference play. The matchup marks the first meeting between the Broncos and Lopes since March 20, 2014, when Boise State earned a 52-51 victory in the Women's Basketball Invitational. Grand Canyon averages the second-most bench points in the Mountain West, posting 25.0 points per game.

HOME SWEET HOME
The Broncos have started their season 7-0 at home for three-consecutive seasons. The last time Boise State started 8-0 at home was the 2024-25 season, and 9-0 was the 2007-08 season. If the Broncos achieve a 9-0 start at home, it will mark just the second time that head coach Gordy Presnell has done so.

HOME STREAK
Boise State has won nine-consecutive home games. A 10th-straight victory would mark the program's first such home winning streak since the combined 2018 and 2019 seasons.

STRONG STARTERS
Boise State has started the same five players in every game this season, one of only two Mountain West teams to do so (along with San Diego State). Dani Bayes, Mya Hansen, Libby Hutton, Natalie Pasco, and Tatum Thompson have each surpassed 100 points this season, making Boise State the only Mountain West team with five players reaching 100+ points.

CAREER MILESTONES
Bayes, Hansen and Tatum Thompson are each nearing 1,000 career points. Bayes is the closest to the feat with 963 points, followed by Tatum Thompson with 961 and Hansen with 914. Tatum Thompson is also nearing 500 rebounds and currently sits at 478.

Hansen is 10th all-time in career assists with 293, trailing Camille Woodfield (2000-04) with 303.

DOUBLE-DOUBLES

Tatum Thompson registered a career-high 26 points and pulled down 14 rebounds in Boise State's 91-77 win over UC Davis on Nov. 14, notching her first double-double of the season and eighth of her career.

SCORING OUTBURST
Boise State scored 83 points against San Francisco on Nov. 9 and tallied 91 points against UC Davis on Nov. 14, marking the first time since Feb. 18 and 20, 2021, at Utah State that the Broncos scored at least 80 points in back-to-back games.

Bayes holds the fifth-highest single-game three-point percentage nationally this season. She shot 77.8% (7-of-9) against UC Davis on Nov. 14, trailing Lani White of Utah (100.0%), Josefine Enander of Morehead State (87.5%), Katie Donovan of Davidson (87.5%) and Ally Timm of DePaul (80.0%).
