Sophomore Paris Austin scored a game-high 27 points while junior Chandler Hutchson scored 25 as Boise State overcame a 4-point halftime deficit to defeat Wyoming 91-87 on Saturday at Taco Bell Arena.
It is just the second time the Broncos (17-8, 10-4) have won a game where they trailed at halftime (Dec. 31 vs. Colorado State). Saturday’s win puts Boise State back in first place in the Mountain West.
Boise State opened the second half on a 21-2 run behind Hutchison and Austin. Wyoming shot lights out from 3-point range in the first half, going 7-for-16, to take a 41-37 halftime lead.
