Ashton Jeanty was the only Heisman Finalist to wear team gear today for media photos/interviews. "I wouldn't be here without Boise State and I want to represent my school. I feel that's important."

It’s over! Boise State comes back to beat Utah State, 25-24. The Broncos finish 8-4 - and we’ll await the computers to see if they’ll get to play in the Mountain West title game.

Cool to see Billy Bowens III working out at Boise State Pro Day today. He was having a great pro day last year before suffering a horrible injury on a deep route just like this. Props to Billy for not giving up on his dream.

This has the feel of a big-time tournament. Kudos to everyone involved with the Crown. Having the semifinals and finals at T-Mobile Arena is a big deal.

Walk-on Vince Barringer drills the 3-pointer in the 3-on-3 game today. Said it earlier, but maybe my favorite thing Leon Rice does is give the walk-ons/redshirts their “March Madness moment” on the court. Pretty cool for these guys.

This is crazy! After the Utah State women lost tonight, coach Kayla Ard was asked how they rebuild next season - and she says she just got fired. Never seen anything like this. "I'm assuming that's going to be the last question?" (Video courtesy of The Mountain West)

Maybe the worst loss in the history of Boise State basketball. Broncos fall to D2 Hawaii Pacific, 79-78. No words. Stunned silence as fans leave the building. Unbelievable.

Darren Lee, a former Boise State linebacker, is a Boise police officer and was on the trip helping provide extra security for Ashton Jeanty. Sounds like the Heisman Trophy candidate will have Lee around the rest of the season.

Boise State players heard Rece Davis say Penn State has a favorable path by getting to play SMU and Boise State in its first two games. "Great. Love it. That's what this place is built on - that chip on their shoulder. Please count us out."

"That was absolutely unacceptable. Not only was it a huge play in the game, I don't care if we're up by 50...that's not what we do here and he should not have played the next snap." -Spencer Danielson on Devon Banks not being benched after a personal foul call. Full clip:

Boise State football coach Spencer Danielson said today 12 players on his roster were illegally contacted/recruited by other schools to enter the transfer portal. Ashton Jeanty was the biggest. “The amount of tampering and illegal stuff thrown at Ashton and his family…”

Just an incredible atmosphere. It's one of the best I've ever seen - and maybe the best - in 13 years covering Boise State.

Former student manager Brennan Ramirez hits a 3-pointer for his first career points - and his teammates have maybe the coolest reaction of all-time. Much different vibe around this team than 10 days ago.

Got asked plenty about the foul situation with San Diego State’s Jeremiah Oden, so I went and checked the tape. Oden clearly should have fouled out, but it appears his third foul was incorrectly given to Compton in the book (stats had him with 5). He then hit a huge 3 in 3OT.

FINAL in OT: UNLV 86, Boise State 83. Broncos led by 17 points with 8:55 to go. Credit to Gibbs-Lawhorn, who played all 45 minutes and had 36 points. Unreal finish from him and the Rebels. Tough one for the Broncos. Jacksons Food Stores Postgame Show coming up on Bronco Nation News.

Unreal. CSU, a poor 3-point and offensive rebounding team, wins it with an offensive rebound and a 3-pointer. Ultimate gut punch for the Broncos, who rallied from 17 down to take the lead in the final minute. Broncos fall to 13-7. Jacksons Food Stores Postgame Show coming up.
