Mountain West Honors Boise State Basketball With Two Major Awards
Boise State men's basketball has been on a roll this season and their success has been undeniable. So often, fans have been spoiled by the football team that they forget Head Coach Leon Rice is working inside of ExtraMile Arena to make this basketball program just as big.
This year, with a regular season Mountain West title, it was Rice and the basketball team that accomplished what Bronco fans are used to seeing happen on The Blue.
Boise State's Most Underappreciated Star
On the players front, all-star Freshman Tyson Degenhart was named the Mountain West Conference 'Freshman of the Year'. Rightly so, it seemed that the flow improved the moment he became a starter for the Broncos and was Freshman of the Week a total of nine times throughout the entire season.
Just this afternoon, Boise State defeated Nevada to advance in the Mountain West Conference Championships and continue to be slated for a March Madness run!
