Abu Kijab scored 23 points and Boise State cruised to its fifth win in its last five games at Fresno State, 87-53, on Saturday night.
“It’s frustrating, I mean we lost by 30 — that’s never happened at home,” said Bulldogs guard Noah Blackwell. “It’s just frustrating knowing how good we are and that we are not performing as well as we could.  I just told the boys to keep their heads up.  We still have a talented team.”
