Utah State Dominates Boise State in Statement Win
In a stark contrast to the expectations of a close conference matchup, Utah State emerged victorious over Boise State with a convincing 93-68 win on Monday night at ExtraMile Arena.
The largest lead of the game came when Utah State built a 32-point margin, leaving little doubt about the outcome. The Aggies' dominant performance was a testament to their well-rounded offense and stifling defense, which limited the Broncos to just 21% shooting from beyond the arc.
Utah State's MJ Collins Jr. led the way with 25 points on 5-9 three-point shooting, while Mason Falslev added 16 points and 9 rebounds. The Aggies' high-powered offense put up a staggering 93 points, thanks in part to their ability to get hot from beyond the arc.
On the other end of the court, Boise State's Dylan Andrews struggled with his shot, going just 2-8 from three-point range. Despite his efforts, he still managed to score 16 points, while Dominic Parolin chipped in with 12 points and 6 assists.
The difference in performance was stark, with Utah State shooting a blistering 66.4% eFG%, compared to Boise State's 43.0%. The Aggies' ability to get easy baskets in transition and their strong rebounding on both ends of the floor were key factors in their victory.
Boise State's struggles on defense were evident throughout the game, as Utah State's point total was more than double what they scored at home just a few days prior. It marked a significant turning point for the Broncos, who now face an uphill battle to regain momentum in conference play.
The win marks a statement from Utah State, who demonstrated their ability to compete with top-tier opponents and come out on top. As they continue their journey through the conference standings, this victory will serve as a confidence booster for the Aggies.
