There is no doubt about the key matchup in Wednesday night's men's basketball game between Boise State and Idaho.

Point guards Mac Hopson of Idaho and Anthony Thomas of BSU are the unquestionable team leaders and the spark plugs for their teams.

"It's a matchup that both guys enjoy, and I think it's the key matchup for the game," Idaho coach Don Verlin said. "I think Boise has a lot of good players and can score in a number of different ways, but it seems like when they have really played well that Anthony Thomas has kind of been their catalyst."

But it's not the only one that will help determine the outcome of the WAC game between the Broncos (17-7, 7-4) and Vandals (11-13, 5-6).

"Anthony's no different than Hopson," BSU coach Greg Graham said. "When Hopson's on, they're hard to beat. When Anthony plays (well), we're much better..."

Go here for the remainder and that's an order.
