The Times, They Are A-Changin'
Most basketball fans grew up watching head coach Jerry Tarkanian lead UNLV to four Final Four appearances, including a national championship in 1990. We lost Tarkanian on February 11 at age 84, and the Rebels honored their outstanding coach prior to the game tonight in Las Vegas with Boise State.
But in 2015, it is Boise State with 19 wins and one game out of first place in the Mountain West Conference following an improbable 53-48 win. It was the first Bronco win in Las Vegas in history. Earlier this season, Boise State also beat New Mexico in Albuquerque for the first time and Utah State in Logan for the first time.
Coach Leon Rice's team played without five players for the third consecutive game, yet managed the win. Boise State, normally an excellent three-point shooting team, shot a collective 1-18 for the game. The Broncos, who normally turn the ball over less than ten times for an entire game, had nine TO's in the first half. And yet, the Broncos prevailed for the ninth time in the last ten games.
Boise State won because they held the Rebels to 30% shooting (18-60), and they dominated the boards, 47-36. Derrick Marks paced the Broncos with 16 points, while James Webb III had 12 points and 11 rebounds.
Jelan Kendrick led UNLV with 15 points, while Christian Wood had 12 points and 10 rebounds, and Goodluck Okonoboh contributed 10.
Boise State moved its record to 19-7 and is 9-4 in conference, while the Rebels slipped to 14-12 and 5-8.
The Broncos return home Saturday for a 1 p.m. tilt with Nevada.

Boise State Expected to Dominate at Mountain West Swimming Championships
Boise State has narrowly won two of the last three Mountain West Conference Swimming Championships, one year coming down to the final race before taking the title.
In the past, San Diego State has been a strong rival. Now, it appears that the distance between Coach Kristin Hill's Broncos and the Aztecs has considerably widened. In fact, in an analysis of the pre-race heat sheets for the championships which begin tomorrow, the race for second and third will be closer than the race for the conference champion.
Here are the projected point totals, using the conference top times and championship scoring allocation. (Note: coaches can and often do shuffle swimmers around to best use them. The projected point total is merely a guide.)
1. Boise State 853 points
2. San Diego State 614
3. Wyoming 505
4. Air Force 334
5. UNLV 303
6. San Jose State 258
7. New Mexico 202
8. Nevada 150
9. Colorado State 132
10. Fresno State 117

Shorthanded Boise State Trips Air Force 67-42
Boise State utilized its newfound defense to stymie Air Force 67-42 at Taco Bell Arena tonight, the second game the Broncos have held an opponent below 50 points. Boise State held league leader San Diego State to just 46 points in a win Sunday night.
The Broncos played without four players; besides star Anthony Drmic, who went out with a season-ending injury early in the year, starting guard Mikey Thompson and reserve guard Montigo Alford were suspended for violations of team rules and Dezmyn Trent is also injured.
With tonight's victory, the Broncos set a school record with their eighth consecutive conference win. That breaks the record of seven straight set by the 1986-87 Boise State team and tied the following season and by the 1995-96 Bronco team.
Freshman James Webb III had 17 points and pulled down a career-tying 15 rebounds despite providing a scare with a shoulder injury late in the first half and leaving for the locker room. Webb was able to come back and play most of the second half for Coach Leon Rice.
It was a low-scoring start for both teams, but Boise State held a 25-14 lead at halftime and extended the lead over 20 points early in the second half.
Derrick Marks had 13 points and Rob Heyer contributed 12 points.
Matt Mooney led Air Force (11-13, 4-9) with 12 points.
Boise State advanced to 18-6 on the season and 8-3 in the Mountain West. The Broncos travel to Fresno State Saturday, trying to make amends for a poor showing last season.

Sources Indicate That Mike Sanford Will Be the Next Offensive Coordinator at Notre Dame
Multiple sources are reporting that offensive coordinator Mike Sanford will leave Boise State for Notre Dame to take a similar position.
