Tyson Degenhart officially has the all-time scoring record for Boise State basketball.

Degenhart scored on an open layup against New Mexico in the second half of the Mountain West Tournament semifinals on Friday to hit 1,945 points as a Bronco, surpassing Tanoka Beard’s longstanding record of 1,944 points. Beard played for Boise State from 1989 to 1993.

Degenhart finished with 22 points and now stands at 1,949 for his career. He led the Broncos to a 72-69 win and into Saturday’s championship game.

During Friday night’s game, he also overtook Anthony Drmic (3rd, 1,942 points) and Steve Conner (4th, 1,927 points).

“If you told me during November of my freshman year that I was going to end up being the all-time leading scorer, I’d tell you you’re crazy,” Degenhart said in early February.

Degenhart entered Friday evening’s game 18 points shy of the record after his 14 points on Thursday night in the 62-52 win over San Diego State.

The senior forward has played at Boise State since 2021, becoming a starter seven games into his freshman campaign. He has virtually never left the starting lineup since, missing just one game in his junior year because of a facial injury.

Degenhart entered his senior season needing 583 points to claim the record. He scored 566 points in his junior season, meaning the senior from Spokane, Washington, had to better that output in his final year with the Broncos to sniff the all-time mark.

He stood up to the challenge, scoring more than 20 points on 11 occasions this season ahead of Friday night’s conference semifinal game with the Lobos. His 17.7 points per game lead the Broncos this season.
