Boise State Basketball will aim for their 14th straight victory when they travel to Fresno to take on the Bulldogs for the second meeting between the two clubs on Friday evening, the first of which was the 7th victory of the Broncos spectacular run.

The win streak is even more impressive when you factor in the team’s long pause due to Covid, postponing three games before Leon Rice’s defeated Nevada on the road by 15 points over two weeks after their win over Fresno State. Because of the long delay, the Broncos have been tasked with many games in a short amount of time.

In fact, since that January 12th win over Nevada, Boise State has played five other games, three of which have been on the road. Perhaps the most impressive stretch was winning at Utah State and at San Diego State in the span of three days.

Of course, the Broncos topped off their wins by defeating Wyoming on Tuesday making it four wins in one week. So why is nobody talking about the Broncos and how can Leon Rice and Company keep the train rolling?
