Emmanuel Akot - Returns to starting five Akot provided nine points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Saturday's 86-76 win over UNLV. Impact Akot missed four games in February due to a knee injury, and upon his return, the senior came off the bench in back-to-back outings. Saturday saw him return to his old role, however, as Akot logged his highest totals in minutes played, points, rebounds and assists since Jan. 28. A healthy Akot puts the Broncos in a very good spot, as they atop the Mountain West standings by 1.5 games with just two regular season contests remaining.
