Boise State had a 31-2 edge in points off turnovers.

Spartans coach Dave Wojcik spent three seasons as an assistant under Boise State coach Leon Rice before becoming San Jose State's coach in 2013.

But Rice sure didn't take it easy on his former assistant.

San Jose State trailed 17-5 less than eight minutes into the contest. Muhammad and Isaac Thornton each hit 3-pointers to get San Jose State within 19-11 before the Broncos went on a 16-0 surge.

The burst was capped by a ferocious drunk by James Webb III and he followed up with two strong defensive plays.

First, Webb intercepted a pass and it led to a dunk by David Wacker. Webb then stole another pass, leading to Chandler Hutchison's basket to make it 37-13 with 4:25 remaining.

San Jose State committed 13 turnovers in the half and was just 4 of 17 from the field.

In the second half, Nick Duncan's 3-pointer pushed the Broncos' lead to 50-19 and a short time later, Marks and Duncan each hit 3-pointers during a 12-0 surge.

The lead topped out at 79-28 on a 3-pointer by Dezmyn Trent with six minutes remaining as Boise State finished off its sixth consecutive victory over the Spartans.
