Utah Valley at Boise State

BOISE, Idaho (Interstat) — The Utah Valley Wolverines, coming off a record-setting offensive performance, will face a Boise State Broncos team looking to rebound from a stunning season-opening loss when the two men’s basketball programs meet Saturday at Taco Bell Arena.

Utah Valley (1-0) enters the non-conference matchup with momentum after a dominant 116-35 victory over West Coast Baptist on Tuesday. The Wolverines’ offense was firing, led by Jackson Holcombe’s 19 points, 10 rebounds and four assists. Isaac Hawkins added a double-double with 14 points and 14 rebounds.

Boise State (0-1) is seeking its first win after a 79-78 home loss to Hawaii Pacific on Monday. Despite the defeat, the Broncos saw strong contributions from Drew Fielder, who scored 13 points and grabbed seven rebounds, and Dylan Andrews, who dished out nine assists to go with 15 points.

The game presents a contrast in early-season trajectories. Utah Valley’s high-powered attack will be tested by a Boise State squad eager to defend its home court and avoid an 0-2 start. The Broncos have a challenging schedule ahead, with games against Wichita State and Southern California looming later in November.
