GORDY'S GREATNESS: Head coach Gordy Presnell picked up his 21st all-time win in the MW Conference Tournament on Sunday, tying Don Flanagan (New Mexico, 1999-11) for the most in conference history.

FREE POINTS:Â The Broncos made 21 shots from the free throw line against the Wolf Pack, tying their season-high. Dani Bayes led the way from the charity stripe, making seven out of her eight attempts, while Thompson went 6-of-9. Elodie Lalotte made all four of her free throw attempts.
SCOUTING THE REBELS:Â The Lady Rebels (24-6), who lead the league in scoring offense (75.5 points per game), have five players averaging in double figures. Amarachi Kimpson leads the squad with 13.9 points per game.Boise State and UNLV have combined to win seven of the last eight MW Tournament titles and six of the past seven regular season MW titles (the two squads were co-champions in 2017-18).Â
LOOKING AHEAD:Â Should the Broncos prevail over UNLV, the squad will face the winner of New Mexico and San Diego State on Tuesday, March 11. That game would tip off at 6 p.m. MT and would be broadcast on the MW Network and 670 KBOI AM.
