Lady Broncos Down Air Force To Move To 2-0 In Mountain West Play
The Boise State women's basketball team fared better than their male counterparts, even though the Lady Broncos took on Air Force on the road while the men stayed at home. Coach Gordy Presnell's team held off the Falcon women 81-75 as Boise State rebounded from a halftime deficit with a 14-4 run to take control.
Lauren Lenhardt, Kati Isham and Heather Pilcher combined for 61 points for Boise State in their fourth consecutive win. Lenhardt hit 10-of-20 shots from the floor, seven-of-eight from the free throw line and even connected on two three pointers to score a season-high 29. Isham had 19, with 14 of those in the second half, including four long-range bombs. Pilcher had 13 points, three rebounds, six assists and four steals. This is the seventh time this season that the Lady Broncos have scored 80 or more points. Presnell's Broncos are now 11-6 overall and 2-0 in conference.
Boise State started out strong with a 7-0 lead, then hit just five points in the next nine minutes of play. Air Force went into the locker room with a 33-32 lead. Lenhardt scored 14 points in the first half.
Boise State began the second half with a run that rewarded them with a 45-37 lead with 16:47 to play. The Broncos never trailed after that, showing the importance of starting the half strong. Air Force did pull within two twice at 71-69 with 2:49 left and at 77-75 with 19 seconds left. But Cinnamon Lister and Pilcher converted two free throws each down the stretch to preserve the win.
The Broncos shot a blistering 51.7% in the second half and finished at 44.4%. They calmly sank 16-of-17 free throws and hit half their shots (9-18) from three-point range.

#14 Lady Broncos Top #16 Washington
The new-look Boise State gymnastics team opened the season with a superior effort, downing #16 Washington 194.40 to 193.425 in Taco Bell Arena last Friday night.
Coming off a year in which they missed qualifying for Nationals by less than a quarter of a point, Boise State will feature nine freshmen this season, with 16 of their 24 routines coming from underclassmen. That the Broncos can lose so many stars from last year's team and still perform this well in the season opener is a tribute to Bronco coaches Neil Resnick and Tina Bird.
"We are happy with our score for being an opening meet and the mistakes we made tonight are easily in our control to fix," said co-head coach Bird. "We are really proud of how the team did tonight, especially the freshmen."

Boise State Loses to Air Force, 74-59
The Bronco basketball team has a long ways to go to rise to the level necessary to compete in the Mountain West. The Broncos fell to Air Force on their home court 74-59 this afternoon.
Air Force Leads Boise State 16-15
I told you in my preview article this would be a contrast in styles. Air Force wants a slower tempo and right now they are dictating the tempo. Halfway though the first half, Air Force leads by one in Taco Bell Arena.
Boise State Set New Record for Students in Fall Semester
Boise State set a new school record for Fall enrollment with 19,664 students in the recently completed semester. Hard to believe the archaic Idaho State Legislature hasn't gotten with the 21st century and realized that they need to support the school that educates the most students, rather than wasting money on universities with dwindling enrollments and resources.
New Record for Degree-Seeking Students at Boise State
The recently completed Fall semester at Boise State drew a record 18,892 students who were seeking degrees. The number includes 16,835 students seeking undergraduate degrees and 2,057 graduates.
Some other facts about the students at Boise State: 82.3% of the freshman class came to Boise State straight from high school, compared with 78.3% just five years ago. 92.5% of the freshmen are full-time, compared with 83.5% in 2007. There are now 443 international students at Boise State, with students coming from China, Saudi Arabia, India, Japan, Canada, Germany and beyond.

Chances Dimming for a Bronco in the Super Bowl
With the disappointing loss by Detroit in the Wild Card game last week, there are two Boise State players who are still alive in the NFL playoffs. Tackle Ryan Clady and his Denver Broncos take on New England while fullback Korey Hall is with New Orleans, which plays San Francisco this weekend.
Both Denver and New Orleans are underdogs.

Bronco Wrestlers Take On Utah Valley
The Boise State wrestling team, which has struggled to a 1-6 record this season, will try to right the ship when they face Utah Valley tonight at 7.
Utah Valley is 2-2 with their only losses coming at the hands of ranked opponents Ohio State and Illinois.

Lady Broncos Open Mountain West Play with 65-46 Win Over New Mexico
Lauren Lenhardt scored 2 points to pace Boise State to a 65-46 win over New Mexico in the Mountain West Conference opener for both teams last night in Taco Bell Arena. It was the 600th win for the Bronco program.
"That was one of the best games we played this year and it couldn't of come at a better time," said head coach Grdy Presnell. "I was really pleased with how the team came out and battled hard from the start. Lauren (Lenhardt) did a nice job for us, as did several others. It was a solid team effort in our first Mountain West game."
New Mexico came in leading the conference in defense, allowing opponents just 54.1 points a game but the Broncos clearly played their best game of the season. Kati Isham added 12 points for Boise State as the Broncos never trailed. Coach Presnell's team led at the half 35-27.
The Lady Broncos scored the first 10 points of the second half which, combined with the finish of the first half, completed an 18-4 Boise State run to give Boise State a 45-27 advantage. New Mexico could never get closer than 11 points the rest of the game.
Lenhardt finished the night with an outstanding nine-of-16 shooting performance with a six rebounds and two blocks. Isham added five rebounds, an assist and a steal to go with her 12 points. True freshman Keiahnna Engel contributed nine points, five rebounds, a career-high five steals and an assist.
Porche Torrance scored 11 of her team-high 17 points in the second half and also had a game-high 12 rebounds to lead New Mexico.
Boise State is 10-6 overall while New Mexico fell to 6-9. The Lady Broncos travel to Air Force (5-11, 0-1 in conference) Saturday afternoon. The Falcons fell to Colorado State yesterday 73-39.
