As they close in on the mark, here are 20 things to know about the Boise State men's hoops team.

The Boise State men's basketball team will try for its 20th victory of the season Wednesday night against Cal State Bakersfield.
The Broncos (19-6 overall, 10-3 WAC) are trying to become the eighth team in school history to reach that milestone. In honor of the impending feat, here are 20 miscellaneous things to know about this season's team.

1. Shooting stars. The Broncos lead the nation in field-goal percentage, making 51.6 percent of their shots. It is one of seven NCAA statistics where BSU ranks in the top 50 nationally.

2. Road warriors. BSU has a 9-3 road record this season, one shy of matching the school record set in 2003-04. The Broncos have at least two chances - Feb. 28 at San Jose State and March 1 at Hawaii - to tie and beat the record.

3. Leaders of the pack. BSU is in first place in the WAC, and this is the deepest in the season that the Broncos have led the conference. Their best finish since joining the conference in 2001 was a third-place finish in 2003-04. BSU was picked to finish fifth in preseason coaches and media polls.

4. Two-sport stars. Tyler Tiedeman ranks third nationally in 3-point field-goal percentage (50.4 percent). Not bad for a guy who's primary sport was baseball a few years ago. Tiedeman was a pitcher at the University of Arizona when an arm injury derailed a promising baseball career. He left Tucson and enrolled at Santa Rosa Junior College, where he resurrected his basketball career. He's been with the Broncos for three seasons. He's not alone.

Guard Matt Bauscher was a high school state singles champion in tennis in 2003 at Vallivue High, while Anthony Thomas also competes in the long jump, triple jump and high jump for the Broncos' outdoor track team.

5. The third degree. Three of Boise State's senior starters - Bauscher, Tiedeman and Matt Nelson - all have earned their undergraduate degrees at BSU...
