BOISE, Idaho — March 4, 2025

The Boise State Broncos (16-14, 6-11 MW) are set to close out their regular season tonight at ExtraMile Arena against the struggling Utah State Aggies (4-25, 3-14 MW). Tip-off is at 6:30 p.m. MT, and the Broncos will be looking to secure momentum heading into the Mountain West Tournament.


The Broncos look to finish strong at ExtraMile Arena—get a behind-the-scenes look at their preparation and mindset ahead of the game.

Can Boise State End on a High Note?

The Broncos have faced a rough stretch in recent weeks, dropping four of their last five games, including a heartbreaking overtime loss to New Mexico (83-88) and a road defeat against Air Force (68-75). Despite this, their 12-3 home record suggests they are a different beast inside ExtraMile Arena. Expect them to come out aggressive and looking to dominate early.

Leading the charge for Boise State is Tatum Thompson (#0, G), the team’s top scorer and rebounder at 13.0 PPG and 6.7 RPG. She will be the go-to offensive weapon, while Mary Kay Naro (#12, G) will be setting the table as the team’s assist leader (4.2 APG).

Utah State's Tough Season Continues

It’s been a brutal campaign for Utah State, currently sitting at 4-25 overall and winless on the road (1-13). The Aggies, however, still have a player to watch in Cheyenne Stubbs (#24, G), who leads the team with 16.4 PPG and will look to spark an upset. Boise State’s defense will need to key in on Stubbs and force other players to step up.

Key Matchups to Watch

  • Tatum Thompson (BSU) vs. Cheyenne Stubbs (USU) – The top scorers for each team go head-to-head. Can Thompson's all-around play give BSU the edge?

  • Rebounding Battle – Thompson (6.7 RPG) leads the way for BSU, but Utah State’s Jamisyn Heaton (#32, G) (5.4 RPG) will try to keep the Aggies competitive on the boards.

  • Turnover Battle – BSU’s Mary Kay Naro (4.2 APG, 1.6 TO) will be crucial in taking care of the ball against an Aggies team that struggles to force mistakes.

Final Thoughts

With the Mountain West Tournament looming, Boise State needs to make a statement and regain confidence. A dominant home win against Utah State would be the perfect way to turn the page and build momentum for postseason play.

Tip-off is at 6:30 p.m. MT at ExtraMile Arena—be there to support the Broncos in their final home stand!

Prediction: Boise State 75, Utah State 60
