Boise State Coasts to 85-59 Win Over Air Force
After coming up short on Sunday against Colorado State, Leon Rice and company needed a bounce back win as they enter the final stretch of Mountain West play. Clune Arena, home to the Falcons, has been a difficult place for Boise State to play. The Broncos have mustered only four wins in nine tries. The circumstances wouldn’t get much better pre-game as Emmanuel Akot was still classified as out with a knee injury and Naje Smith was diagnosed with a non-COVID illness. A winter storm was making its way through Colorado Springs at the time of tip-off, heavily impacting attendance for those who didn’t reside on campus.
