The Boise State men's basketball team did more than win its WAC opener Wednesday night - the Broncos also showed the rest of the conference that with four senior starters they are going to be tough to rattle.
BSU won for the ninth time in 10 games, riding the performances of its four seniors in taking a 78-63 win over San Jose State in front of 3,984 fans at Taco Bell Arena.
Seniors Matt Bauscher, Reggie Larry, Matt Nelson and Tyler Tiedeman combined for 64 points and made big play after big play to help squash a comeback bid by the improved Spartans (6-6 overall, 0-1 WAC).
