Boise State lost to Long Beach State 72-62 in Long Beach, California.
A slow start doomed the Broncos as they scored seven points in the first 13 minutes and fell behind 33-15. But Coach Leon Rice's team scored the final nine points of the half to cut the margin to 33-24. Junior center Kenny Buckner, a transfer from the famous College of Southern Idaho, kept Boise State in the game with 12 of his 14 points in the first half.
However, a 16-point run by the 49'ers in the second half extended the lead to 19 and the home team coasted from there.
Freshman Anthony Drmic led the Broncos with 20 points, hitting five three-pointers. Drmic is just the third Bronco to have multiple 20-point games as a freshman in the last 18 years.
Boise State hosts Northern Illinois Saturday night at 7.
