Broncos Fall to Spartans in First Round
3/12/2026 1:27:00 AM | Men's Basketball
LAS VEGAS — Boise State's 2025-26 season concluded on Wednesday night as the Broncos fell to San Jose State, 84-74, in the first round of the Credit Union 1 Mountain West Men's Basketball Tournament.
The Broncos (20-12) were led by Javan Buchanan, who registered his first double-double and fourth 20-point game of the season. He scored a game-high 28 points and added 13 rebounds and two steals.
Andrew Meadow recorded 17 points (6-12 FGs) and six rebounds in 35 minutes of game action. Drew Fielder added 12 points and six boards.
Colby Garland led San Jose State (9-23) with 22 points, five rebounds, three assists and three steals. Jermaine Washington notched 18 points on 6-of-11 shooting.
Adrian Myers and Sadraque NgaNga each had 14 points and combined for 17 rebounds. Melvin Bell Jr. pitched in with 11 points.
Buchanan got Boise State on the board first, tallying a pair of free throws and layup in the opening 70 seconds. Making four free throws and three of their first four shots from the floor, the Broncos led by five upon reaching the game's first media timeout.
Meadow began the contest by knocking down each of his first three field goal attempts, including a pair of 3-pointers. The first player to reach double figures, Meadow scored 10 of Boise State's first 17 points.
The Broncos were ahead by five early on, but halfway through the period, San Jose State grabbed its first lead of the evening on a pair of free throws. The Spartans forged ahead by as many as eight, before Boise State put together a run.
Rattling off 11-straight points, the Broncos turned their eight-point deficit into a three-point lead with just over two and a half minutes remaining in the 20-minute session. Over the final seven-plus minutes, Boise State outscored the Spartans by six.
Trailing by one in the final seconds of the frame, Garland nailed a triple for San Jose State as time expired. Despite the Broncos' strong performance to end the half, San Jose's fifth long ball of the game gave them a 41-39 advantage at the intermission.
Out of the locker room, the Spartans tallied seven of the first 11 points and increased their lead to five. San Jose State made six of eight shots to start the half, resulting in a 10-point deficit for the Broncos.
Facing its largest deficit of the game, Boise State promptly responded. The designated home team scored seven unanswered points to make it a one-possession game.
The Broncos made a run, but were never able to tie the game. San Jose State eventually pushed its lead to 16, serving as the largest of the game for either squad.
In the second half, the Spartans shot exactly 50 percent, making 15 of their 30 shots from the floor. Conversely, Boise State shot just 35 percent and scored 35 points in the final 20 minutes.
Prior to Wednesday's game, the Broncos had won six-straight games against San Jose State. The loss snaps a streak of 17 wins in the last 18 tries for Boise State.
