San Diego – The hopes for Boise State’s already thin NCAA tournaments were launched in support of life on Saturday night.
And that was another loss of the way to a team in front of them in the standings, which made them again.
Boise State had two different five-minute points to evaluate the points and could not find a way to overcome San Diego State’s suffocating defense with a loss of 64-47 in Viejas Arena.
“This was not the game we imagined we were playing,” said Tyson Degenhart. “We started the game really well, but we just didn’t finish the first half the way we wanted and it brought us back a little.”
The bronze, who saw their victory in four games, ended, fell to 0-5 against teams that were ahead of them in the ranking of San Diego, New Mexico, Utah and Colorado and 9-0 against everyone else.
It was also another loss of the road to Broncos, which fell to 3-4 on the road in the Western Game Mountain after going through the road on the road last season. The broncas were 18-9 in the league matches in the last three seasons, but lost four out of seven, remaining three.
Tyson Degenhart had 17 points to darken 1800 for his career – only the fifth player in the history of the program became to achieve the feat. And Alvaro Cardans had three assists to break Boise State’s one-season record of 165, previously determined by La’Sard Anderson in 2011.
But both achievements came on a difficult night for Broncos.
Boise State led 18-17 before continuing the final 5:15 of half-time without a point. San Diego State ended the half at 11-0 to lead 28-18 on the break.
The 18 points were low for the season for each half for Broncos.
Unfortunately, it was more of the same to start the second half. Another point of drought, the one even longer than the first at 5:41, led to another prolonged running of San Diego and 46-23 leads. When Boise State finally scored 12:09 to go, it was actually a San Diego player who tilted him.
Broncos uses 12-0 run to reduce the deficit to 11 at 46-35 by 8:37, but Broncos could not approach the section.
Tyson Degenhart had 17 points and 12 battles for Broncos, which went only 3 out of 18 of the 3-point scope and fired only 34.5 percent.
“It’s kind of difficult to win games when you shoot 34 percent,” Degenhart said.
Alvaro Cardans had eight points, and Pearson Karmachale had seven. Andrew Meadow scored the first seven points for Boise State, but did not score again.
The 47 points were the least scored by Boise State in the loss of a conference, as Broncos joined the Mountain West more than a decade ago.
And much of this is due to the protection of San Diego, which has entered the game, ranked in the top 10 in most protective categories, including No. 2 in the percentage of field goals. The Aztecs, which lead the nation in a percentage of a block, had 10 blocks on Saturday against Broncos.
Magoon Gwath, the 7-foot perspective of the NBA, had five blocks for the Aztecs and added eight points and six rebounds.
Nick Boyd had 24 points to lead San Diego State, which Miles Bird and Wayne McKini III added 10.
While Boise State’s crime was fighting, the defense was not much better. San Diego State launched 54.2 percent of the terrain, including 60.9 percent in the second half.
Boise State coach Leon Rice received a technical foul in the second half for justifying a call that was not cracked by O’Mar Stanley. He then clapped in the official Scott Brown after receiving a foul and had some lucky one to get another one and be thrown away.
Broncos have left six games and they probably have to win all six in order to have some chance with the biggest offer for the NCAA tournament. The more realistic path to the big dance is probably Broncos to become hot and win the NCAA tournament – but even that doesn’t feel so realistic at that moment.
Boise State will start its last boost on Wednesday when it returns home to face the leading conference in New Mexico at 8:30 pm at Extramile Arena.
“I know one thing, our boys will bounce back and battle,” Rice said. “We will be ready to go on Wednesday.”
