The End of a Season

Put the ball though the hoop is the idea of basketball. Neither the Bengals or Broncos could get the ball though the hoops. Listening to Jerry Miller, on KISU, he kept saying," the ball hit the front of the rim, or," the ball hit the back of the rim,"
Those lines rang though the whole 40 minutes for the Bengals, shooting a miserable 25 percent for the game. The Broncos didn't shoot any better 31 percent but what made the difference was the rebounding and second shot attempts put up by the Broncos. Boise State had 21 points from their 27 offensive rebounds, to Idaho States 2 points.
The Broncos put the game away in the final eight minutes with a 16-0 run which buried the Bengals.
"When you let someone have 27 offensive rebounds it's hard to win a game. We do a great job defensively and force bad shot , but we don't get the block out and give up second and third chances, and that's part of the defense, " said Coach Jon Newell.
Playing in their last game Andrea Lightfoot scored 16 points, Natalie Doma had another double-double with 13 points and 17 rebounds.
Boise State moves on to the second round of the WNIT and the Bengals get a bus ride home, proud knowing that they have once again gotten a bid to play in a post season game.
