Just over a year ago, Mountain West champion Boise State (22-7, 12-4 MW) who were then 8-1 just got by then 1-6 San Jose State (17-12, 8-8 MW) 87-86.
Last month at Boise, the Spartans nearly beat the Broncos, but lost 67-64 on a 3-pointer by Boise’s Marcus Shaver with 22 seconds left, where SJS stormed back after being down by 14.
Saturday night, the Spartans finally demystified the Broncos in an upset win at the Provident Credit Union Event Center in a 74-68 OT thriller in front of 2,300.
