Boise State Snags Great Receiver
Boise State is making inroads now that will pay huge dividends in 3-4 years. The Broncos scored their third commit in as many days, reeling in wide receiver Akilian Buter.
Butler (5-11, 172) is from West Mesquite High School in Texas. He has great speed, athleticism and body control. Butler hauled in 28 passes for 378 yards and three scores as a sophomore.
Akilian had offers from Clemson and Colorado, and interest from Baylor, Maryland, Missouri, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Texas, Texas A&M and Washington State prior to committing to the Blue.

Boise State Will Compete in Seattle
For the 28th time, Boise State will try to advance past the NCAA Regional Gymnastics Championship, and this time, they'll perform in the West. The 17th-ranked Broncos will compete in Seattle Saturday, April 5.
Only two teams advance from each region, and that is why Boise State has never made it to Nationals. They have never gotten better than a three seed, and that is what they are this year.
Host Washington is the favorite as the #6 seed. Alabama is seeded first in the region with Nebraska the second seed. Boise State will have to beat at least two of those teams to make history. Hint: the odds are stacked against them, which is why it is so important to get a team score of 196 each and every meet. Other teams competing in Seattle will be #20 Denver (which outperformed Boise State in the Mountain Rim Conference Championship) and #25 BYU.

Boise State Softball Team Beats Fresno State in Dramatic Style
Boise State has just defeated Fresno State 3-2 in ten innings in the Mountain West Conference opening softball game for both teams. Details to follow.
Swartz Will Wrestle for Seventh or EighthTomorrow Night
Jacob lost 5-2 in his consolation semifinal match to Kevin Steinhaus of Minnesota.
Instead, Steinhaus Gets Takedown
Swartz about to lose to a lower-ranked wrestler. It's 5-2 with 49 seconds left.
About to Start Third Period
Steinhaus gets quick escape. Swartz needs to go for it. He has nothing to lose.
Swartz Wrestling Steinhaus
Steinhaus gets early takedown for 2-0 lead. If Jacob wins, he will wrestle for third or fourth tomorrow. If he loses, he will finish either fifth or sixth.
Confirmation of Stall
J.T. had the 3-2 win, but in the final seconds, the Oklahoma State wrestler was given a point when the official said Felix stalled. That tied the match and sent it to overtime. Marsden then got the takedown in OT and Felix is done for the year.
Horrible way to go out.
Horrible way to go out.
Marsden Ties
Marsden awarded a late point--have no idea why. Felix was leading the match 3-2, perhaps a stall point?
They go to overtime.
They go to overtime.
Felix Down to Start Third
Match tied at two. Felix needs to get up within the first minute to hold his lead.
Felix with an Early Takedown
Not a long hold though, and Marsden gets the escape. Felix leads 2-1 with less than a minute gone by.
J.T. Felix Up Next
Felix tries to do what Jake Swartz just did--become an All-American. He will have to get by the #11 wrestler at 285 pounds, Austin Marsden of Oklahoma State.
Swartz Wins 6-5
He's in the semifinals of consolation and guaranteed a Top eight spot in the nation.
Congrats Jacob!
Congrats Jacob!
Swartz with Escape in Period Two

Felix With Another Pin
Felix pins Dhesi! That's the way to rebound from a loss. J.T. joins Jake Swartz of Boise State in tonight's consolation quarterfinals.
Swartz Will Meet Ryan Loder
Ryan Loder of Northern Iowa, who just got a late takedown to win his match 3-0, will meet Boise State's Jacob Swartz tonight in the 184-pound consolation semifinals.
Felix to Wrestle Dhesi of Oregon State

Felix Leads Tasser 4-1
J.T. squaring off against Patrick Tasser of Pittsburgh. He now has two takedowns in the 285-pound consolation match.

Kaitlyn Petersen Misses Three
Boise State rebound with four seconds left. The Lady Broncos win, 52-51.
Boise State Turns It Over
And now Grand Canyon will get the last shot with 25 seconds left, down 52-51.
Deanna Weaver With a Key Steal
Grand Canyon had cut the lead to one at 52-51, but Boise State's Deanna Weaver stole it and was fouled. The problem for Grand Canyon is that the referees haven't been calling fouls on them, so Boise State will get the ball out of bounds rather than going to the line.
Boise State Women Lead 52-49
The Lady Broncos clinging to a three-point lead with 1:36 left at Grand Canyon, the opening game of the WBI Women's Tournament.
