Boise State Men’s Basketball went on a safari looking for their ninth win of the season against Sacramento State.

The Broncos have pulled off 4 straight wins and earned their first vote in the coaches top 25 polls for the first time since 2015 earlier this week.

This week was no different, Boise State had another strong performance with a rock solid offensive performance. Three players were in double digits, with Chandler Hutchison leading all scorers with 21 points.

Hutchison grabbed his 15th career double-double, his fourth just this season and his third straight. The Broncos had no problems with the Hornets. Boise State led in both halves of today's matchup, winning easily 77 to 54.

The win gives the Broncos a 9-1 record which ties for the best 10-game start to a season in school history and is the best since the ‘88 and ‘89 season.

The victory today also extends the team's nonconference home winning streak to 23 games, the longest streak of its kind in the Mountain West and the 12th longest in the nation.

Needless to say, the team was stoked.

"We're doing so well that everyone's like next game next game that we really don't get to kind of sit back and enjoy everything that we're doing and the success that we're having

So that's what we're trying to move and not focus on more of like who's next but take it in and realize that we're playing pretty well right now," said Forward Chandler Hutchison.

“(We) play so well together. It's not about one guy or two guys it's about all of us and back at high school maybe it was like me or trey and it was just the other guys but now it's

All of us that's what makes this team so special," said Point Guard Marcus Dickinson.

"I always tell these guys there's someone in the crowd that hasn't seen us play and they're going to appreciate the way you play and the way we move the ball and

How hard we play that's our job to do that every single night," said Head Coach Leon Rice.
