Historical Context of the Rivalry
The rivalry between the Lobos and Broncos has been competitive. Last season, each team won on their home court, but Boise State edged New Mexico in the Mountain West Tournament semifinals with a close 72-69 victory. However, the Lobos face a significant challenge, as they have not secured a win in Boise since 2017. This seven-game losing streak at ExtraMile Arena constitutes the Lobos’ longest active road losing streak.
