Duke Mondy scored 21 points and Corey Petros had 17 points and 12 rebounds for Oakland (1-2). Elorriaga hit three 3-pointers over the first six-plus minutes of the second half as Boise State used a 19-4 surge to open a 59-44 lead. The Broncos still led by 14 with 9½ minutes to play before the Golden Grizzlies rolled off nine consecutive points to pull within 69-64 on a 3-pointer by Mondy with 7:51 remaining. But Marks drove for two baskets as Boise State answered with six consecutive points to push the lead back to 11.
