2022 - 3 - 12San Diego State vs. Boise State (unknown)
Check out odds, picks and predictions for the Mountain West Championship between San Diego State and Boise State on March 12.
Boise State gets to the line a ton, but also shoots free throws at one of the lowest percentages in the entire country. The Broncos won 42-37 in San Diego in January in one of the lowest-scoring games of the entire basketball season. The latter is an area they should be able to get some free points on the Aztecs’ aggressive defense. The second is due to their ability to switch on the perimeter and effectively close out on shooters. Big-time shotmakers like Marcus Shaver Jr. and Emmanuel Akot have sustained this offense just enough to win in tight affairs, including the two meetings with San Diego State. San Diego State’s offense has trended up considerably in the final two months of the regular season. Also, Boise has over performed its ShotQuality expected record by four games over the course of the season. San Diego State’s defense excels in two key areas that matchup really well with Boise State’s offense. When the Boise State offense struggles, it’s usually because the Broncos turn the ball over too much and aren’t able to get many second chance looks. Since that date, SDSU’s offense has improved to 110th in efficiency on offense while maintaining its elite defense within the top 10 of the country. The Aztecs may have lost the first meeting vs. Boise State held off a late comeback attempt from Wyoming to win by seven in the rubber match between the two programs.

The Tough Climb to the Top of the Mountain West (unknown)
Four teams from the league should make it to the NCAA tournament, but the road to the Big Dance hasn't been easy.
With seedings that could range from 6-12, none will be expected to win more than one game in the Big Dance—yet all will be capable of crashing the Sweet Sixteen. The Aztecs are the No. 2 defensive team in the country according to Pomeroy’s metrics, and Boise is No. 19. And no league in America has put its top teams through a more sustained gauntlet of tense games and dramatic outcomes than the Mountain West. The product they take into the NCAAs is more gritty than pretty, with slow pace and lots of defensive stops. Boise State, San Diego State, Colorado State and Wyoming are ready to face an opponent that doesn’t know every play call and every tendency. One of the reasons why: the coaches are outstanding. San Diego State was only up two with 80 seconds to play against Fresno State before hitting its free throws down the stretch to seal the win. Currently, the Mountain West has those seven teams in the top 85 of Ken Pomeroy’s rankings and six in the top 70. Previously the MWC had never had more than five in the top 85 or top 70. DuSell helped get Wyoming in bubble position in the regular-season finale, scoring a season-high 21 in an overtime win against Fresno State. The second tier of UNLV, Utah State and Fresno State is tough, too. The Broncos will play San Diego State, which held off Colorado State 63-58 to make its fifth straight title game. LAS VEGAS — At one point during the Wyoming-Boise State Mountain West semifinal game Friday night, Cowboys coach Jeff Linder called out a play for his team to run.

After another run from San Diego State put the Aztecs in front, Shaver tied the game with a pair of free throws and Kigab reclaimed the lead with a jumper in the lane with 7:27 remaining. The second half opened with a 5-0 run from the Aztecs to retake the lead, the first of six lead changes in the second half. Boise State responded by scoring 12 of the game's next 17 points to build the largest lead of the night for either team, 40-35, with under 14 minutes to play. His basket with 2:20 to go, a spinning left-handed scoop shot around MW Defensive Player of the Year Nathan Mensah, put Boise State ahead 53-50. In the closing seconds of a one-point game, Boise State once again leaned on its defense. Pulliam dribbled into the lane and put up a free-throw-line floater in traffic that bounced off the back of the rim.

Ironically, both Boise State and SDSU nearly mirror each other in almost every facet of the game other than the fact that the Broncos are considerably better offensively than their Mountain West counterparts. To begin, the Aztecs’ pace of play is as slow as molasses, but it’s no doubt effective against 2021-2022 opponents with SDSU only allowing 57.8 PPG. The number three seed in the tournament and seeking their sixth Mountain West championship title, San Diego State has been the cream of the crop of the conference for more than a few years now. Boise State will be an automatic bid regardless of their outcome on Saturday afternoon, winning the conference tournament in the Sin City will be the icing on the cake.
