Western Athletic Conference Tournament Championship: No. 4 Boise State won a triple overtime thriller 107-102 against No. 3 New Mexico State on the Aggies’ home court to win the Western Athletic Conference championship and return to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 14 years. At a school known for riveting finishes, the Broncos finally built a big enough lead in the third overtime to outlast New Mexico State. Boise State’s football team shocked heavily favored Oklahoma two years ago on a Statue of Liberty play to end the game. The basketball team’s equivalent of chutzpah is senior forward Reggie Larry overcoming a terrible free throw shot to force overtime. In the final seconds of regulation with Boise State trailing by one, he shot an airball on a free throw but followed up with a successful shot. Larry finished with 31 points and 16 rebounds.
