Elorriaga hit a 3-pointer with 31 seconds left to give Boise State a 60-59 advantage. But Elorriaga fouled Josh Adams with 9.1 seconds to play, sending him to the line, where he gave Wyoming (13-1, 0-1) a one-point lead.

Elorriaga finished with 18 points, all coming on 3-pointers. Anthony Drmic also had 18 for Boise State, which hit 57.9 percent from 3-point range (11-of-19).
