Braydey Hodgins only averaged 2.7 points and 9.7 minutes per game during last year’s Mountain West women’s basketball tournament.
But those limited minutes on the court — and observation time from the bench — are proving invaluable to the Boise State point guard in 2018.
For the second time in three games, Hodgins set a new career high in scoring, going a scorching 8-for-11 from the field for a game-best 25 points as Boise State took down Colorado State 76-51 on Wednesday in the Mountain West Tournament semifinals at the Thomas & Mack Center.
“Playing behind (former Boise State guard) Yaiza (Rodriguez), she’s definitely a championship-caliber player, and that just prepared me to come in,” Hodgins said.
