Alex Hobbs took the outlet pass from Derrick Alston and dribbled down court with his eye on the game-winning shot.
But Hobbs’ 3-pointer from the right elbow hit the backboard and bounced off the front of the rim, sending Boise State to a 65-63 loss against Fresno State on Wednesday night at the Save Mart Center.
Boise State drops to 1-6 in games decided by a single possession. The only other year the Broncos (11-14, 6-6 MW) have had six losses by one possession or less is the 1983-84 season.
“We keep getting ourselves in these situations, and we could take it two ways,” Hobbs said.
