Sometimes it’s good to have seniors.
Boise State’s Brooke Pahukoa hit a game-winning jumper with less than a second remaining in Tuesday’s Mountain West Tournament quarterfinals to lead the fourth-seeded Broncos past fifth-seeded New Mexico 64-62 and into Wednesday’s semifinal against top-seeded Colorado State.
Pahukoa scored Boise State’s final six points and had a game-high 25 points on 9-of-21 shooting.
The Broncos used a 10-2 run midway through the fourth quarter to take a 60-59 lead after trailing by as many as five points with four minutes left in regulation. New Mexico’s Jayda Bovero hit a game-tying 3-pointer with three seconds remaining that knotted the game at 62.
