8-1 is a great Saturday night for WAC basketball

Leagues the WAC beat Pac-12, Big Sky, Mountain West, Summit, Ohio Valley, SWAC.

I am kinda surprised that GCU played a close game with Boise St. They seem to be having an off year. What happened to make it a 2 point game?

It was a close game throughout. GCU did not play that well but they fought hard (especially the second unit) and got the victory. Lever only had 3 points and was non-existent. Milstead, Johnson, Martin, Jackson, and Frayer played well.
As for GCU having an off year, it is hard to tell at this point. NMSU barely beat UTEP (62-58) and WSU (69-63) which are both ranked way lower than Boise State. Does that mean NMSU is having an off year? Only time will tell.

The Aggies played the last two games without Eli Chuha; who is our best low post scorer and rebounder. Also, if you look at NMSU's wins, key scoring is coming from different players each night. Tonight, NMSU got 36 points from the starters and 33 from the bench. And only three players are averaging over 20 minutes a game; AJ Harris playing the most minutes at 25.2 min/game.

Also, keep in mind Boise State is only 2-5 with home wins over Jackson State (1-7) and St. Bonaventure (3-5) and a home loss to Idaho State.
