The Boise State men's basketball team looks to rebound from a disastrous loss to Utah Valley State last Saturday. The Broncos head to Moscow to play Idaho in the second meeting this season between the in-state rivals. Tip-off is set for 8 p.m. local time and will be broad- casted on KBCI-TVchannel 2.
