Boise State vs. Northern Arizona basketball preview: Broncos taking on Lumberjacks in home opener

The Broncos will aim to avenge Friday's loss to Montana in its home opener Monday night.

Boise State is coming off a tightly contested loss against the Montana Grizzlies Friday night.

The 0-1 start is a frustrating one for the Broncos. Although Montana is an experienced and talent group, it is a game that a tournament team should win.

Boise State was out of the gates with a quick 12-4 lead, and extended its lead to nine with a 20-11 score after a Zach Haney three pointer.

The Broncos seemed to be in position to maintain a comfortable lead, but the Grizzlies manufactured a 10-0 run to take a one-point advantage midway through the first.
