Coach Rice commented after today's win against Wyoming, "To be able to bounce back and play my estimation maybe one of their best games both offensively and defensively and effort. This is the game where I was like boy do I want to win for these guys. I have a lot of hope in what's in front of us the way we are playing and that's exciting."
Senior forward Anthony Drmic was impressed with the way the team responded after the Colorado State loss. "We just continue to improve and play as hard as we can and practice especially we came out with a chip on our shoulder and we were practicing really hard and it showed tonight."
Boise State goes back on the road to play New Mexico Wednesday, in Albuquerque, N.M. The game tips off at 8 p.m. MT on CBS Sports Network.
