FINAL RECORD
25-9 overall, 12-4 WAC, Tied for first in conference, won conference tournament.

WHAT WENT RIGHT
Boise State relied heavily on its four seniors, and each responded by having a career season. Reggie Larry was an All-WAC performer and was named the tournament MVP. Matt Nelson was a second-team All-WAC player and a third-team academic all-American. Forward Tyler Tiedeman ranked nationally in 3-point shooting percentage, while Matt Bauscher was among the leaders in assist-to-turnover ratio and was named to the All-WAC defensive team.

WHAT WENT WRONG
The Broncos lost more games at home (five) than they did outside of Boise (four). Free-throw shooting was inconsistent, and two bad losses (at Montana State and to Loyola Marymount) probably kept BSU from cracking the Top 25 polls this season. The performance of the bench also was a tad inconsistent.

QUOTE TO NOTE
