Scouting the Broncos
After winning the Mountain West title last season, Leon Rice has his team in the thick of the title race again this year at 19-6 overall and 9-3 in the Mountain West.
Â
The Broncos have arguably the most productive starting five in the conference with all five averaging over 9.5 points per game. Sophomore Tyson Degenhart leads the way with 14.4 per game and is second in rebounds at 5.4.
Â
Max Rice (13.6), Marcus Shaver Jr. (13.4) and Chibuzo Agbo (11.5) are all in double figures as well.
Â
Defense has been impressive for Boise State as well holding teams to 61.2 points and shooting just 28.0% from downtown. Those two marks rank 12th and seventh in the nation.
Â
What's Ahead
Colorado State's final three road games will all take place in the state of California. Two of those three games happening in back-to-back games. CSU travels to Fresno State on Saturday before facing San Diego State on Tuesday.
