Boise State 70, Fresno State 63
BOISE, Idaho -(FS Media Relations) Fresno State's Kevin Olekaibe delivered a season-high 28 points and the team provided a strong defensive outing, but Boise State managed to hit just enough key shots and owned the glass en route to beating the Bulldogs 70-63 on Monday night at Taco Bell Arena.
"We are going to keep building and we will get there," Terry said. "I am very proud of our effort, but it wasn't enough tonight. We came up short a couple of 50-50 balls that are difference makers on the road."
Those difference makers and the Bronco's 18-5 advantage on the offensive glass helped give Boise State extra possessions that were crucial down the stretch.
BSU reserve forward Ryan Watkins was a key part of that equation. Watkins grabbed nine of the Broncos' 18 offensive rebounds and recorded his first double-double with 18 points and a career-best 11 total boards. In all, Boise State outrebounded Fresno State 41-25.
