Wildcats drop first road game at Boise State
12/13/2020 4:34:00 PM | Men's Basketball
In the first road game of the season, Weber State fell 70-59 to Boise State Sunday afternoon at ExtraMile Arena in Boise.
The Wildcats jumped out to a five-point lead early in the game but Boise State closed the first half on a 12-2 run over the last 5:44 and led 35-26 at halftime.
Weber State started the second half on a 13-5 run, including a 7-0 spurt that cut the lead to 40-39 with 14:13 to play. But Boise State responded with an 11-0 run of its own and never looked back. The Wildcats were never closer than eight points the rest of the way.
Senior guard Isiah Brown led the Wildcats in scoring for the third-straight game, finishing with 18 points with 13 coming in the second half. He was also 8 of 8 from the free throw line and had three rebounds and two assists.
Cody Carlson scored in double figures for the third-straight game, finishing with 17 points on 6 of 7 shooting, including two 3-pointers. Carlson is now shooting 85 percent from the field through three games.
Michal Kozak had seven points and grabbed a game-high 11 rebounds, along with three blocked shots.
"Boise State is a really good basketball team so this was a good test for our team," said WSU head coach Randy Rahe. "We needed to play a game like this against a high quality opponent and I thought we did a lot of good things and had great effort. We got some good looks but just couldn't finish them. This is still a learning experience, we just need more games to get more comfortable."
Boise State shot 41 percent from the field, while the Wildcats shot 37 percent. WSU was 6 of 25 from 3-point range and had 16 turnovers.
The Wildcats are back on the road this weekend for the first Big Sky Conference games, playing at Portland State Friday night and Sunday afternoon.
