Well before they played their first game of the 2018-19 season, members of the Boise State women’s basketball team settled on the motto “strength in numbers.”
In keeping with that theme, 10 different Broncos have led the team or shared the team lead in scoring in a game this season. The statistic is tied for the national lead with No. 14 South Carolina and Milwaukee.
And the longer junior guard Riley Lupfer remains sidelined with an undisclosed injury, the more critical scoring diversity is likely to become for the Broncos.
Boise State (21-4, 12-2) has a one-game lead over New Mexico (21-4, 11-3) and Wyoming (18-5, 11-3) for first place in the Mountain West Conference standings with four games remaining in the regular season.
