But Boise State clawed its way back into the Big Sky race by destroying Eastern Washington 67-51 on Friday, then slipping past the Vandals 67-64on Saturday. "We're right back in there," BSU center John Coker said after the win over Idaho. "We're 3-4, so we're right back in there." The wins came at a critical juncture, as Saturday's game marked the halfway point of the conference season. Had BSU been upset by Eastern Washington (the last-place team in the Big Sky) and lost against favored Idaho, the Broncos would have faced a 1-6 record that would have put them out of the picture. "I'll tell you what.
