Boise State basketball player David Wacker is a grinder down low who fights for offensive rebounds, slams home putbacks and helps lead the defense with strong communication skills.
Zach Haney is a rebounder with solid footwork in the paint who brings the added threat of 3-point shooting.
When the two sophomores from Texas are on the floor together, like they were at times against Nevada on Wednesday, it presents a matchup problem for opposing teams.
“It puts tremendous pressure on the other team,” Wacker said. “I hope it’s going to be something for the future.”
The Broncos (17-9, 10-5 Mountain West) hope that’s the case Saturday, when they take on San Jose State (14-12, 7-8) at 2 p.
