SAN JOSE, Calif. (Interstat) — A Mountain West women’s basketball matchup featuring teams at opposite ends of the conference standings is set for Saturday when the Boise State Broncos visit the San Jose State Spartans. The Broncos (21-6) enter the Event Center as one of the league’s top teams, having won five of their last six games. Their most recent outing was a 70-62 home victory over Air Force on Wednesday, powered by 21 points from guard Natalie Pasco. Boise State’s offense has been potent, averaging 75.5 points in its last four wins. San Jose State (4-23) is looking to build on a rare positive result, having snapped a six-game losing streak with a 58-56 home win over Utah State on Wednesday. Guard Maya Anderson led the Spartans with 22 points in that victory. The teams met just three weeks ago in Boise, where the Broncos dominated in a 96-62 rout on Jan. 31. Pasco scored 16 points in that contest, while Anderson was held to 10 for San Jose State. Pasco, Boise State’s leading scorer in four of the last seven games, is averaging 16.0 points over that stretch. Her backcourt prowess will be a primary focus for the Broncos’ attack. Anderson has been a consistent bright spot for the struggling Spartans, scoring in double figures in six consecutive games and averaging 15.6 points during that span. The game presents a stark contrast in season trajectories. Boise State is jockeying for postseason positioning, while San Jose State seeks to find momentum in the season’s final weeks. The Spartans will need a significant defensive improvement to challenge the Broncos, having allowed an average of 86.5 points in their last two meetings. Tip-off is scheduled for Saturday afternoon at the Event Center.
