Seattle gave all it could the last game, a 68-57 loss at Stanford playing tough defense. Now they come home and it doesn't get any easier against a talented Boise State squad. Seattle struggles to score, 61.3 ppg while shooting just 36% from the field. Boise has been on a roll, losing to mighty Michigan State just 74-70 as a +15 dog then pulling off the biggest upset in school history over No. 11 Creighton, 83-70. It marked the highest-ranked opponent the team has defeated in school history, and just the sixth victory over a ranked team all-time. They were a +13 dog but shot 60% as Derrick Marks scored 28 of his career-high 35 points in the second half. "We came in here knowing we'd have to play our 'A' game to be with them," Boise State coach Leon Rice said. "Where the Michigan State game helped us is we played really good for 36 minutes and put ourselves in position and didn't finish. We went back and spent some time watching that film in the last two days before we came out here and kind of analyzed our mistakes." So is this a let down spot? After playing so hard against Michigan State, Boise routed Santa Barbara the next game, 72-56, covering easily. Play Boise State!
