How to Watch, Stream Boise State vs. Fresno State Men’s Basketball: TV Channel, Play Time, Predictions – Sports Illustrated

For the first time this season, Boise State and Fresno State will meet in men’s basketball.

Tipoff between Broncos (14-7, 6-4) and Bulldogs (5-16, 1-9) was set for 14:00 mountain time on Saturday at Extramile Arena.

The Fresno State’s Lone Mountain West’s victory came against the Air Force (3-18, 0-10), but the bulldogs were competitive in the last matches under the head coach of the first year Vance Wahlberg.

“They are getting better and better,” said Broncos coach Leon Rice. “They lost to five of Colorado, they had to beat Wyoming in Wyoming. Wyoming pulled out a miracle 3 to send him to overtime and then won the overtime running. “

The Fresno State ranks seventh in MWC to score 72.3 points per game, but allows the worst 81.6 of the league per match in the protective end. Boise State ranks second among the MWC teams in the marking of defense (66.9) and a third to mark a crime (77.1).

“They are difficult to guard,” Rice told the Bulldogs. “They have many athletic guys who reach the rim, they put a lot of false pressure on you. They have changed their protection and play 90 to 95 percent zone.

“We need to be able to handle these two things. These are probably the two most important things. “

Fresno State is a balanced offensive team such as Zaon Collins (12.7 points, 4.5 assists, 2.1 thefts), Alex Crawford (12.1 points, 3.8 rebounds), Jalen Weaver (11.8 points, 3.9 rebounds ) and Michel Robinson (10.3 points, 6.2 bounce)) all medium in double digits. Robinson has missed the last four Bulldogs games because of fears of eligibility.

The leading goalkeeper Amar Aguilard left the team in December.

Boise State bounced from another losses on Wednesday night with a 66-56 victory over Nevada.

Broncos used the initial composition of the defense against Wolf Pack with the guard Alvar Cardans and RJ Kene II and forward Tyson Degenhart, Andrew Meadow and Emanuel Ugbo.

Swingman Javan Buchanan got off the bench to lead Boise State with 19 points, while Cardenas (18 points, five assists) and Degenhart (17 points) also had strong matches.
