By virtue of their 68-63 win over Colorado State Wednesday, the Boise State women's basketball team takes on New Mexico in the semifinals of the 2012 Mountain West Basketball Championships Friday in Las Vegas, Nevada. New Mexico knocked off #2 seed UNLV 61-58.
Boise State swept the season series with New Mexico, downing the Lobo women 65-48 in Boise and then holding off a late rally to win 68-64 in New Mexico. In the first game, Lauren Lenhardt led the Lady Broncos with 23 points and six rebounds while Kati Isham had 12 points. Porche Torrance had 17 points and 12 rebounds for New Mexico. In the second game between these two, it was a decidedly different game, when Boise State pulled out to a 63-48 lead with 4:17 left. But the home team came storming back to make it interesting down the stretch. Nicole Brady earned high-point honors for Boise State with a season-high 19 points and eight rebounds. Lenhardt had 16 and Isham 13. Caroline Durbin poured in 27 points for New Mexico while Torrance contributed 17 points and 15 boards.
Boise State is an even .500 on the season at 15-15 while New Mexico enters the semifinals with a 10-19 record. The Broncos lead the Mountain West with 68.2 points a game while the Lobos are averaging 54.8. Defense is where New Mexico has the upper hand, allowing just 56.8 points while Boise State allows 67 a game.
Tipoff is set for 3:30 Friday afternoon Mountain Time.
