BOISE, Idaho (AP) -- Derrick Marks scored 33 of his career-high
38 points in the second half to lead Boise State to a 78-65
victory over Colorado State on Saturday night.



Marks scored 24 consecutive Boise State points over a 10-minute
stretch of the second half as the Broncos (20-8, 8-6 Mountain
West) avenged a 77-57 loss to the Rams on Jan. 30.



Greg Smith scored 17 points and Dorian Green added 15 for
Colorado State (22-7, 9-5), which has lost three of its last
four games to drop into a second-place tie with Nevada-Las
Vegas.



Marks' output ties for fifth-most in Boise State history. He hit
all 11 of his second-half shots to finish 13-of-18 from the
field. His previous career best of 35 points came in a victory
over Creighton on Nov. 28.



Colorado State's only lead came on Smith's basket just before
halftime.
