Why Boise State Will Win
Boise State is on the road looking to build off of its blowout win against San Jose State earlier in the week. The Broncos should have no problems with Air Force on Saturday. BSU is much better on both sides of the ball, has a massive size mismatch in the frontcourt, and has been playing good basketball of late. Air Force will need to find a way to allow someone besides Chandler Hutchison beat them. The chances of keeping Hutchison in check are minimal, so the Academy will try to ensure BSU’s other scorers like Sengfelder, Hobbs and Jessup don’t heat up.
