Coach Leon Rice admitted after the game there is &#8220;huge concern&#8221; about the status of both players moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>The Broncos head to San Diego State for a huge showdown with San Diego State on Friday at 7 p.m. MT on FS1. The Aztecs and Broncos are tied atop the Mountain West standings at 8-2 after San Diego State lost at Nevada late Tuesday night.<\/p>\n<p>Kuzmanovic hadn&#8217;t played since a road win at Wyoming on January 14th, but saw nearly 26 minutes of action off the bench on Tuesday. He hit a 3-pointer in the first half before his dagger from the top of the key extended Boise State&#8217;s lead to 55-50 with 90 seconds to play.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Nothing special man, I just made the play,&#8221; Kuzmanovic said. &#8220;I made the 3. &#8230; That&#8217;s just me, I have big confidence and believe in myself.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Shaver Jr. had 12 points prior to leaving with the injury, while Tyson Degenhart had nine points.<\/p>\n<p>Boise State shot just 43.1 percent from the field and 31.8 percent from 3-point range, while Air Force shot just 39.2 percent from the field and 16.7 percent from 3.<\/p>\n<p>The Broncos led 36-21 early in the second half but Air Force rallied to take a 46-45 lead with 7:01 to play.<\/p>\n<p>Degenhart&#8217;s bucket put the Broncos back in front, and they never gave up the lead the rest of the way.<\/p>\n<p>Boise State led 52-50 when Kuzmanovic hit the dagger from the top of the key. Rice added two free throws and Agbo had a dunk in the final seconds as the Broncos hung on for a third-straight win.<\/p>\n<p>Bronco Nation News talked with Leon Rice, Max Rice and Kuzmanovic after the game.
