Mountain West tournament (Mar. 1-4)

[Plebe]

McGwire just fouled out, but her team is up by 7 with a minute left.

Boise State prevails, 78-71, with 5 players finishing in double figures, led by A'Shanti Coleman with 20 points and 12 rebounds.

The Broncos will try tomorrow to win its 4th consecutive Mountain West tournament. But they'll be the underdog this year. Fresno State won their lone regular-season meeting, 85-80, on Jan. 25 in Boise.

8 p.m. Pacific time (11 for y'all Easterners).

CBS Sports Network

It's hard to tell for sure, but the Mountain West may also stream it online:

Bad marketing on the part of the MWC. Why not an earlier start as a consideration for reaching a broader audience? Maybe it had to do with CBS schedule and the MWC was just happy to get picked up? Sigh... I guess I’ll watch anyway...

The MW men's tournament starts today in the same arena, and I suspect they intentionally gave their prime time slot to the last of the three men's games.

 

[Plebe]

The men’s games must’ve run a bit over. This game is running about 10-15 minutes late.

@TheFarmFan ’s favorite ref is working this game

 

[Plebe]

Fresno State is trying to make the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2014. Boise Stare is trying for four appearances in a row.

As alluded to by @triaddukefan in another thread, there are a fair amount of yellow-clad Wyoming fans who came out despite their team’s loss last night.

We just switched from Fios/Frontier to Xfinity. We had CBSSN, now we don't. Kinda bummed. I would definitely have checked out this game. Doesn't look like I can stream it either.

Cavinder twins are really impressive.

Really good game so far.

 

[Plebe]

McGwire just picked up a 2nd foul. It’s an exciting game so far. Both teams hitting 3s in the early going.

 

[domerduck]

Good to see McGwire again after watching her Freshman year at Oregon. This is one of the few times I'm rooting for Boise State when they are playing a west coast team.

 

[domerduck]

Cavinder twins are really impressive.

Amazing how many quality twins we have playing in the west. Lexie and Lacie Hull for Stanford, Jenna and LeeAnne Wirth for Gonzaga, and these Cavender twins at Fresno. Looks like all are making it to the tourney and Zags/Trees will be hosting the first round.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Jenna and LeeAnne Wirth for Gonzaga

The Zags have 2 sets of twins. Kayleigh and Kaylnne Truong are a pair of Fr. guards. I haven't seen them much this year but their fans are excited about their potential.

Jade Loville's jumper has been automatic for Boise State. Beautiful lefty mid-range jumper.

Are they identical twins as well? I think the other 3 all are

And she’s the one who came in for McGwire due to foul trouble.

 

[Plebe]

I haven’t watched a ton of Boise State this season, but of the several games I’ve seen this is by far the best they’ve played.

I still can’t understand how BSU, with this much talent and also good size, had such a mediocre regular season.

 

[Plebe]

Okay time for a weird comment. I’m watching this halftime show with all the cheerleaders and mascots of the Mountain West and I don’t think I’ve ever seen on any other team this weird brownish color that combines with the yellow of Wyoming. It’s like that ugly tannish greenish brown color that all the 1970s living rooms used to have.

 

[DaBball]

OT!

 

[Plebe]

Overtime!

Fresno State did a great job to fight back and take the lead, but the Cavinder twins forced too many drives on key possessions down the stretch. They went down by 3, and then tied it on a 3 by one of the Cavinders.

Great game.

 

[Floridaduck]

OMG. Overtime after long Cavender 3 point ties iit

 

[domerduck]

What a shot to tie. by Cavender..OT

 

[domerduck]

Well 5 of us are watching it.

 

[DaBball]

Boise State...you had one job.
