Boise State defeated San Diego State 86–77 in an NCAA matchup, pulling away late to secure a nine-point win. The Broncos generated consistent offense across both halves and did enough defensively to keep the Aztecs from stringing together a sustained comeback run. The game remained competitive for long stretches, with San Diego State working to match Boise State’s scoring pace. Boise State’s ability to create quality looks and convert key possessions—particularly in the second half—helped them maintain control when the margin tightened. Down the stretch, Boise State executed more cleanly on offense and protected its lead with timely stops, turning a close game into a comfortable finish at the final horn. The result gives Boise State a notable conference win, while San Diego State leaves with areas to address—especially generating efficient offense against a set defense and limiting separation in late-game situations. With the provided box-score fields (top performers and team shooting/rebounding/assist totals) not included, individual statistical leaders and specific efficiency numbers cannot be cited here. Even so, the overall flow reflected Boise State’s steadier late-game execution and scoring balance as the difference in a nine-point decision.
