The Boise State men’s basketball team kept its NCAA Tournament hopes alive Thursday with a 62-52 victory over San Diego State in a Mountain West Tournament quarterfinal. The fifth-seeded Broncos (23-9) and fourth-seeded Aztecs (21-9) both entered the game on the NCAA Tournament bubble.

Tyson Degenhart became the program’s all-time leading scorer as the Broncos got their biggest win of the season on Friday.

The Aztecs (21-9) swept the regular-season series against Boise State (23-9), but couldn’t win a third time. And probably didn’t deserve to after an abysmal performance on the boards in their fifth game without 7-foot Magoon Gwath, the Mountain West Freshman of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year.
