Far and few more passionate than @Bellarminehoops. Great win tonight for the Knights. https://t.co/n8aZmIBqWV
SDSU women owned the third quarter outscoring NDSU 23-13, take 49-40 lead heading to the fourth.
Reynolds erupts as Mimi Collins hits a 3-pointer with Maria Gakdeng closing out on her at the buzzer. State leads 31-24 at the half over UNC. Heels 0-7 from 3pt. #ncaaW
Balanced Jacks take 18-15 lead over Bison women after one quarter. Elle Evans with 7 points for NDSU.
I was a Boise State doubter ... and, man was I wrong. Winning at UNM is season-defining. Anderson's not-great night is offset by 35 from Rice. Crazy stuff. The Broncos are also 4-0 in MW road games. Pack plays in Boise on March 5; could be huge for both teams. https://t.co/Tr4lOwjXYR
Given the atmosphere, the stakes, the metrics - can’t think of a better win for Boise State in my 11 years covering the team. Just incredible. Broncos are right back in the Mountain West title race: https://t.co/oqccQvpqOO
We were LIVE courtside for 90 minutes on the @BoiseFord Postgame Show last night after Boise State's upset win at No. 19 New Mexico. Appreciative to be there to cover it thanks to the @BNNBroncoNation subscribers and advertisers. Watch the full show: https://t.co/Yv3lQoTVXL
Boise State had 11 turnovers last night but very few led to easy buckets for New Mexico. The Lobos, who have feasted off turnovers and quick points the other way, had just six points off turnovers. Jace Whiting deserves a ton of credit for his 19 minutes off the bench.
Boise State dominated the paint last night. Broncos had a 41-33 edge on the glass and had 46 points inside the key. Stanley (14 rebounds), Degenhart (7 rebounds), Agbo (7 rebounds) and Rice (5 rebounds) all were physical and tough on the interior.
Boise State’s defense deserves a lot of credit. House and Mashburn were a combined 8 of 30 from the field, and the switch to zone late in the second half was huge. New Mexico was just 7 of 25 from 3 (28 percent) and got just 12 total points on 9 shots from Toppin and Joseph.
Hard to really explain just how big last night’s win was for Boise State. -Keeps Broncos in the thick of the Mountain West title race -Improved NET by 12 to 44 and KenPom by 11 to 50 -Gives the Broncos a fourth Quad 1 win and a 7-5 record in Q1/Q2. Huge in so many ways. https://t.co/jxA6AovVMr
Boise State’s bench was huge last night. Kudos to @Cam_martin31 and @jacewhiting15 for big-time minutes off the bench. Broncos don’t win without them. https://t.co/CyLmyFo5KE

In all seriousness, I thoroughly enjoyed my trip to The Pit. It should be on any bucket list. One of the best venues in all of college basketball. Amazing atmosphere from start to finish. Other programs, including Boise State, could learn from the advantage their crowd gives. https://t.co/t276igq3ip

Incredibly gutsy win for Boise State over New Mexico in The Pit as 10.5 point underdogs. The Mountain West takes no prisoners.
Fans heading for the exits at The Pit. Boise State leads 80-71 with 1:30 to go.
At the half: Boise State leads 41-38 at The Pit. Boise State leads the rebounding battle, 23-19. Broncos also have 28 points in the paint, nine points off the bench. Big, big 20 minutes coming up. https://t.co/UL2MqEA7zK
O’Mar Stanley with a dunk just before the half and Boise State leads 41-38 at the break. Super impressive first 20 minutes for the Broncos. https://t.co/lmLTkMePFN
Already 13 for Dent in the first half. Boise State leads 35-33 with 3:01 to go.
The Pit is so tough because every time the Lobos start to make a run, crowd goes crazy and it feels like visitors are down 20. Boise State still leads 35-32 yet you'd never know it right now. Just crazy awesome atmosphere.
New Mexico fans couldn't believe Randy Richardson called a block on House on the contact with Agbo. Loud booing ensued, and Cam Martin followed with a thunderous dunk. Time out, Lobos. Broncos lead 27-20 with 8:05 left in the half.
Oh my! What a dunk by Cam Martin. The Broncos are up 27-20… They trailed New Mexico 10-2 early.
Wow! Cam Martin slams it home and Boise State now leads 27-20 with 8:05 left in the first half. Broncos are on a 12-0 run.
Boise State leads 21-20 on a Jace Whiting layup. Broncos putting up a heck of a fight so far.
Audi Crooks set another career high in scoring tonight in Iowa State's 78-67 win over Oklahoma State, but — as our @ROBWGRAY writes — what all the Cyclones around her were able to contribute is an even bigger story. Three-game skid snapped. https://t.co/7lFF2gzVcu
The crowd at The Pit literally goes crazy after every basket. Hard to take them out of the game, but Boise State hitting back to back shots quieted them for a second.
Max Rice drills a 3-pointer off Tyson Degenhart's offensive rebound, and now Chibuzo Agbo scores and gets fouled. Broncos trail 10-7 with 15:44 to go in the first half but Agbo is headed to the line for one after the break.
The Pit truly is special. This place is rocking at tip off. https://t.co/4rrl2BEs32
A lucky bounce off the rim from a Zach Hicks 3-pointer gave Penn State its first double-digit lead. Nittany Lions now up by 12 at the under-4 media timeout. https://t.co/W5Dn4c2MHR
WBB: Audi Crooks set a career high for the third straight game in Iowa State's return to the win column Wednesday at Hilton Coliseum. https://t.co/pZmTgLeApi
Steve Pikiell calls timeout as Penn State goes on a 7-0 run to take its first lead.
Audi Crooks with another lay-in. Cyclones extend their lead to eight. 57-49.
Three-ball, Emily Ryan! Her first of the game gives Iowa State the 49-47 lead.
All tied up at 41-41 between Iowa State and OSU. 4:47 to go in the third. Cyclones looking to make some adjustments for the rest of this one.
