Presented by BACON. Thursday, January 9, 2020. When Boise State’s Justinian Jessup finally hit a three-pointer in the final minute of the first half Wednesday night, you wondered if that would be it, considering how much UNLV was blanketing him.

SCOTT SLANT: Figuring out those threes
Presented by BBSI BOISE. Wednesday, January 8, 2020. Boise State is shooting 33.7 percent for the season from three-point range. That’s not good, but it’s not terrible.

SCOTT SLANT: Pass it around, Broncos
Presented by BBSI BOISE. Tuesday, January 7, 2020. In a water-treading win over Wyoming and a thumping loss at Nevada, the Boise State men stopped helping. As in, dishing out assists.

SCOTT SLANT: Early litmus test ahead for the Broncos
Presented by VETERANS PLUMBING. Friday, January 3, 2020. Certainly the Boise State men weren’t looking ahead on New Year’s Day.

Presented by VETERANS PLUMBING. Monday, December 30, 2019. We now switch from tracking Curtis Weaver’s watch lists and All-America honors and Boise State sack totals to his projections for the 2020 NFL Draft.

SCOTT SLANT: The haves and have-not-quite-enoughs
Presented by BBSI BOISE. Friday, December 27, 2019. Now that Boise State’s punishing 38-7 loss to Washington in the Las Vegas Bowl has sunk in, there’s a bigger picture to consider.

(Tom Scott’s column will return Friday. Merry Christmas!) Presented by GREENWOOD’S SKI HAUS. Monday, December 23, 2019. Local fans generally want Chris Petersen to be happy, but not this happy.
