Broncos Knock Off UNLV 77-72

Boise State's on-again, off-again 2012-2013 basketball team downed highly-regarded UNLV tonight, 77-72, in Taco Bell Arena.

That just happens to be the third highly-regarded team the Broncos have topped this season, as the Rebels join Creighton and Wyoming as Boise State victims.  Perhaps no coincidence that Jeff Eliorriaga, the quarterback of the Bronco team, returned to action tonight after a serious concussion.

Whatever the reason, Coach Leon Rice's team didn't play at all like the team that was defeated by double digits by both Nevada and Colorado State.  The Broncos led from start to finish in knocking off UNLV.  Anthony Drmic led Boise State with 22 points, including three three-pointers and 9-of-10 shooting from the free-throw line.  Derrick Marks added 17 while Ryan Watkins had 12 points and Elorriaga 11.

Anthony Bennett poured in 25 points to lead the Rebels while Anthony Marshall had 18.  

Boise State is now 15-6 with the win but just 3-4 in Mountain West Conference play.  UNLV falls to 17-5 on the season and 4-3 in the MWC.  Boise State faces a tough road conference next Wednesday against San Diego State before hosting Wyoming one week from tonight.  Rumor has it the Boise State students have something special planned--might be a good idea to be on hand to witness it.
