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.

Red-Hot Boise State Silences San Diego State 61-46
San Diego State came into the day as the #1 team in the Mountain West Conference and third in the nation in scoring defense, but Boise State was the team that held their opponent under 50 points this afternoon before a crowd of 10,511 in Taco Bell Arena.
The streaking Broncos have now won seven consecutive games and are the hottest team in the league. San Diego State, which had been allowing 53.5 points a game, got a dose of their own medicine on this day, with Boise State holding the Aztecs to 35.7% from the floor.
The seven straight conference wins ties the school record set by the 1986-87 Bronco team and tied by the 1987-88 and 1995-96 teams.
Coach Steve Fischer's Aztecs chipped away at the lead, closing to 34-30 with 14:22 remaining on a layup by Ageel Quinn. But Rob Heyer came out of the time out with a three-pointer, and James Webb III followed with a trey of his own on the next possession, and the Broncos were never threatened after that.
Senior Derrick Marks led Boise State with 19 points to pass Coby Karl for third place on the all-time scoring list. Marks will finish his outstanding Bronco career behind only Tanoka Beard and Steve Connor. Webb III had 17 points and 7 rebounds and Duncan was perfect from the field for 12 points for Coach Leon Rice's Broncos.
Boise State committed just six turnovers while forcing San Diego State into 13 miscues, with the Broncos converting most of those into points.
J.J. O'Brien netted 16 points to lead the Aztecs, with scoring help from Winston Shepard, who contributed 12 points.
Boise State moved within a half game of first place with the victory. San Diego State and Wyoming continue to lead with 8-3 conference records, but the Broncos are breathing down their necks now with a 7-3 record.

Emma Bates Needs Our Concern
Emma Bates has done so much for Boise State over the years. The ten-time All-American has always handled herself with so much class and been an outstanding representative of the school.
Now, she needs our concern. Emma always finishes near the top of every race she is ever in. Yesterday at the U.S.A. Cross Country Championships, when the temperature in Boulder, Colorado was an unseasonably warm 71 degrees, Bates did not finish the race. According to a representative of U.S.A. Track & Field, and he stressed that this was "Very Unofficial", he believes that Emma required medical attention for "heat-related issues".
We can only hope that Emma is O.K. this morning. Get the rest and fluids you need, Emma, and get better soon!
