Boise State holds the lead heading into the final session.  Can the Broncos hang on?  Blue Through and Through is the place to find out, event by event, how Boise State is doing and the likelihood that the Broncos can bring home a title.

Brenna Peloquin, Allie Ostrander and Minttu Hukka All Make Academic All-America Team with Perfect 4.0 GPA's

NEW ORLEANS – Three members of the Boise State women’s cross country team – Minttu Hukka, Allie Ostrander and Brenna Peloquin – were named to the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) Division I Women’s All-Academic Team on Friday.

In order for a student-athlete to qualify for the honor, they must have a cumulative grade-point-average of at least 3.25 and finished in the top-25 (or 10 percent) at regionals or as an All-American at the national meet.

All three Broncos have a perfect 4.0 cumulative GPA. Hukka, a sophomore from Finland, and Ostrander, a freshman from Kenai, Alaska, are both majoring in kinesiology. Peloquin, a freshman from Gig Harbor, Wash., is majoring in health science. The Broncos were three of 20 women on the list to have 4.0 GPAs.

The trio was also recently named to the Fall 2015 Academic All-Mountain West Team just last week.

As a team, both the men’s and women’s cross country teams were recognized as a USTFCCCA Division I All-Academic Team. To be eligible, each team has to possess a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher.

The women’s team possesses a 3.25 GPA, and men have a 3.02 GPA.

Boise State with #7 time in the nation in 800 Freestyle Relay

Boise State has qualified for the "A" race in the NCAA National Championships with a 7:04.60 in setting a school and Mountain West Conference record.

Broncos Win 200 Yard Medley Relay in Blistering Time

Boise State won the first event of the MW Swimming & Diving Championships in College Station, Texas with a red-hot time of 1:37.63, just 3/100ths off the all-time conference record.

Second Session of the MW Swimming & Diving Championships is 15 minutes away

One-Meter Consolations Conclude

As usual, the MW concludes their video without giving the scores, but our best attempt to copy them down indicates that Boise State did better than projected.  Kacee Olson improved to 10th, while Karli Kriewall (below) was 14th and Cassidy Bose took 16th.


Unofficially, that's 14 points for the Broncos when they were projected to score 4, a plus 10 going into the finals tonight.

Boise State One of Three Favorites in Mountain West Swimming & Diving Championships

Boise State and Nevada may have been the coaches' favorites to take the Mountain West Swimming & Diving Championships, but don't count out San Diego State, according to an analysis by Blue Through and Through.

Prorating points from the conference list of top performances, Boise State wound up with the most points (506), followed closely by San Diego State with 495.  Nevada is projected to score 454, although with the altitude of Reno, their swimmers generally do far better at sea level.

Here are the complete projections for the championships which begin this week:

1.    Boise State 506
2.    San Diego State 495
3.    Nevada 454
4.    Wyoming 391
5.    Air Force 221

Mountain West Releases Follow-Up Statement on Boise State-Colorado State Game

Mountain West Official Follow-Up Statement Regarding Last Second Shot

In the Boise State at Colorado State Men’s Basketball Contest

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – After further extensive analysis in conjunction with DVSport over the past 24 hours, the Mountain West has determined there was in fact a confirmed discrepancy between the rate at which the embedded digital stopwatch advanced and the rate at which the game clock regressed during the instant replay review.  The game officials correctly administered the play and, based upon the available video evidence and timing data at their disposal, made the correct decision to disallow the basket.  However, they were unknowingly viewing video not delivered at full speed from the production truck.

While some potential latency in the game clock speed vs. the embedded digital stopwatch feed was identified during the initial review process, the Mountain West was assured by DVSport that the stopwatch in the replay system was synchronized with the video and that the elapsed time of 1.2 to 1.3 seconds was accurate.  Subsequent to yesterday’s announcement, the Mountain West and DVSport continued to investigate in the interest of further clarity – including removal of the high resolution video file from the instant replay system and its shipment to DVSport headquarters for further analysis.  Multiple live and replay video angles captured by the replay systems were analyzed, and the replay angle used by the officials was re-enacted in comparison.  The embedded stopwatch and game clock were compared on each of the video angles.  Hand-timing was utilized earlier today to re-confirm timing outcomes.

The continued investigation has now concluded the one replay angle from the Opposite Baseline Camera that was utilized by the game officials was playing at just under full speed when aired by television and subsequently ingested by the replay system. Thus, the embedded stopwatch outpaced the video and led to a false reading. 

Additional tests were conducted setting the digital DVSport Stopwatch to the live version of the Opposite Baseline Camera, and those tests showed the DVSport Stopwatch to be accurate and counting down at the same rate as the game clock above the basket.  It had also been theorized the DVSport Stopwatch was faster than the game clock in the review clip released yesterday because DVSport was capturing video at 30 frames per second when the TV broadcast was sending a 60 frame per second signal. That theory is not correct. The DVSport system adjusts automatically to capture the video at whatever frame rate the video signal is broadcast.

Finally, the additional analysis also re-measured the timing of the release of the shot by the Boise State player.  The outcome of this subsequent review determined the Boise State player most likely released the shot just prior to the 0.8 second threshold and thus the shot should have counted.

NCAA Men’s Basketball Playing Rule 5, Section 5 does not allow a protest to be filed or the result of the game to be overturned.

On a related note, this investigation has discovered a gap in national instant replay protocol which DVSport will be addressing immediately.  A new policy will be established with all conferences using DVSport Replay to ensure the DVSport Stopwatch is utilized only on video angles captured live.  The video of the Boise State-Colorado State play will be utilized as a teaching tool for all game officials, replay technicians, and television providers to avoid similar pitfalls in the future.

Kevin Blackistone says Boise State was robbed last night during today's episode of @AroundtheHorn.

What the Mountain West Conference needs to do

1.  Admit that the officials made the wrong call but don't change the outcome.

or

2.  Admit that the officials made the wrong call and change the result.

With the overwhelming evidence, those are the only two acceptable outcomes.
