Suspension, reprimand handed down for Boise State-New Mexico altercation

The Mountain West Conference suspended New Mexico’s Joe Furstinger for one game, and Boise State’s Justinian Jessup was issued a public reprimand for their actions after Boise State’s 73-71 win at New Mexico on Tuesday night.

Furstinger, who violated the conference’s sportsmanship rule, will serve his suspension on Saturday for the Lobos’ game at Air Force.

“The student-athletes and support personnel from both institutions have been admonished with regard to their leaving the bench area to participate in the altercation. This action could have resulted in a much more serious incident,” the Mountain West said in a press release.
