Presented by CLEARVIEW CLEANING. Wednesday, January 15, 2020. There are no gimmes in the Mountain West this winter. Exhibit No. 1 (at least as far as Boise State is concerned right now) is Air Force. That’s who the Broncos face tonight. The back-cutting, grind-it-out Falcons of old have evolved. Yes, they opened with an 89-79…… MORE

SCOTT SLANT: Broncos hang on in Top 25
Presented by BACON. Tuesday, January 14, 2020. It’s hard not to rank a 12-2 team in the AP Top 25. That had to go through the minds of voters as they submitted their ballots following LSU’s 42-25 win over Clemson Monday night in the CFP national championship game. Boise State did not fall out of…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: Mashed on Montezuma Mesa
Presented by CLEARVIEW CLEANING. Monday, January 13, 2020. “It’s Good Times In San Diego,” said the front page headline in Saturday morning’s San Diego Union-Tribune, accompanied by a story on excitement returning to Aztecs basketball. Good times, indeed. No. 7 San Diego State came out of the gate that evening doing what it does, blitzing…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: Does success in San Diego mean anything?
Presented by BBSI. Friday, January 10, 2020. Boise State’s first basketball season in the Mountain West was 2011-12. On February 1, the Broncos faced their first trip to Viejas Arena to face San Diego State, which was ranked No. 17 at the time. Boise State took it to the wire before losing by two points.…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: Justinian did more than just break the record
Presented by BACON. Thursday, January 9, 2020. When Boise State’s Justinian Jessup finally hit a three-pointer in the final minute of the first half Wednesday night, you wondered if that would be it, considering how much UNLV was blanketing him. That one three was nice, as it was Jessup’s 276th of his career to break…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: Figuring out those threes
Presented by BBSI BOISE. Wednesday, January 8, 2020. Boise State is shooting 33.7 percent for the season from three-point range. That’s not good, but it’s not terrible. A handful of games pulls that number up, though. The Broncos are hard to beat when the threes are going down, but it’s not happening often enough. Take…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: Pass it around, Broncos
Presented by BBSI BOISE. Tuesday, January 7, 2020. In a water-treading win over Wyoming and a thumping loss at Nevada, the Boise State men stopped helping. As in, dishing out assists. The Broncos let some air out of coach Leon Rice’s vision for his team this season, which is to get back to being a…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: Just like old times, unfortunately
Presented by BACON. Monday, January 6, 2020. The Nevada Wolf Pack did not come back to the pack Saturday. Pun intended. That Pack beat Boise State for the eighth consecutive time, winning 83-66 in Reno. Yes, Jazz Johnson was unconscious, scoring 34 points with an 8-for-12 day from beyond the arc. And Nevada’s 14 total…… MORE
SCOTT SLANT: Early litmus test ahead for the Broncos
Presented by VETERANS PLUMBING. Friday, January 3, 2020. Certainly the Boise State men weren’t looking ahead on New Year’s Day. Now they can, and they’d best not look back on their plodding 65-54 win over Wyoming. The Broncos get a good idea of where they are in the Mountain West picture Saturday when they visit…… MORE
Scott Slant: Ah, to be a fly on Kellen’s wall
Presented by BBSI. Tuesday, December 31, 2019. (TOM SCOTT’S COLUMN WILL RETURN FRIDAY. HAPPY NEW YEAR!) How Bronco Nation wishes it knew what’s going through Kellen Moore’s mind right now. As rumors swirl that the entire Dallas Cowboys coaching staff will be fired, one question becomes: Does Moore enjoy engaging with NFL players, or would…… MORE
