WHAT'S NEXT:Â Seeking its fifth consecutive victory, Boise State (17-7) will hit the road to take on San Diego State (16-6) on Saturday. Airing live on CBS Sports Network, tip off at Viejas Arena is scheduled for 8 p.m. MT.
RECENT SUCCESS AGAINST THE AZTECS: Despite losing to San Diego State earlier this season, the Broncos have won three of the last four meetings—and six of the previous eight—against the Aztecs.
ROAD WARRIORS: Since the start of the 2015-16 season, Boise State is 1-of-2 Mountain West teams (San Diego State) to have a winning record on the road in conference play. Having played 89 such games in that span (10 seasons), the Broncos are 48-41.
60 OR FEWER:Â Boise State has surrendered 60 points of fewer in nine games this season. That number is currently the most in the Mountain West.
TOUGH TO SCORE:Â In 13 Mountain West games this season, Boise State has allowed 65.2 points per game. Among all teams in the conference, the Broncos' scoring defense ranks second behind San Diego State.
EFFICIENT ON BOTH ENDS:Â Posting a 115.3 and 98.3 offensive and defensive rating, respectively, Boise State is 1-of-15 NCAA teams with an ORtg of 115 or higher and a DRtg of 99 or less.
CHASING HISTORY:Â With 164 assists this season, Alvaro Cardenas needs one helper to tie La'Shard Anderson (165, 2010-11) for the most in a single season in program history.
DEGGIE IN THE TOP 5:Â Boasting 1,789 career points, Tyson Degenhart currently ranks fifth in program history in points scored. He needs 156 more to surpass Tanoka Beard for most all time.
JB LEADS THE CONFERENCE: This season, Javan Buchanan is shooting 56.4 percent (101-179) from the floor. Among Mountain West players who've attempted at least 175 shots, Buchanan's field goal percentage is the best in the conference.
THE OPPONENT:Â San Diego State enters Saturday's game with a 16-6 record, including a 9-4 mark in the conference. Tied with the Broncos for third place in the Mountain West, the Aztecs are 8-3 at home and have won two consecutive games at Viejas Arena.
