The Boise State Broncos boast a powerhouse football team. However, you shouldn't overlook the Bronco's basketball program. They might not play on a crisp, blue field, but the Broncos men's basketball team gives its all at the
ExtraMile Stadium
in Boise. Formerly Taco Bell Arena, the venue name was changed in June 2019. In the team's newly named venue, the Broncos hosted their Mountain West challengers over 15 times throughout the season, giving fans a great opportunity to watch the players win in tough competition. The Broncos are also set to host
Georgia Tech
and
Alabama State
at home. You can enjoy the experience of seeing the Broncos play live by scoring some tickets to a home or away game. Purchase Boise State Broncos' basketball tickets at StubHub.
''Boise State's biggest games will be against Mountain West Conference opponents. The Mountain West Tournament is slated to start near the beginning of March. Before that, Boise State fans can expect to see big games against conference foes like Air Force, New Mexico and UNLV. The team is also famous for its rivalry with the San Diego Aztecs.'
'Boise State isn't known for its basketball prowess, but game attendees can expect to see some jaw-dropping moments when the team hits the hardwood. Former players Chandler Hutchinson, James Webb and Coby Carl are the most recent Broncos who have made a name for themselves in the NBA. Current Boise Broncos' players that are worth watching are Derrick Alston, Jr. and R.J. Williams. Alston boasts an average 25 points per game, while Williams follows with 16 points per game. Justinian Jessup is another standout on the current roster. Last season, the wing led the team in all five major metrics: rebounds, points, assists, steals and blocks.'
'Leon Rice is the men's basketball head coach. He's been at the helm for nine seasons and has led the men's program to five tournaments. In 2015, the Broncos were an 11-seed in the NCAA conference. Rice works closely with his players, building their maturity and on-court confidence. Leon Rice is supported by assistant coaches Mike Burns, Tim Duryea and R.J. Barsh.'
'The Broncos have earned a reputation for fast-paced games and high-quality shooting. The team has a strong offense, which leads to high-scoring games and audience engagement. Challengers are faced with a loyal home court base ready to wear the school colors and white out the venue at a moment's notice.'
'In 2012, Boise State agreed to stay in the Mountain West Division in exchange for greater national media coverage and $1.8 million from the Mountain West. That agreement ends in 2020 when the Mountain West renegotiates. In 2012, Boise State was in talks to become part of the Big East. The team might not have as much leverage this time around, and a move from the Mountain West does not seem likely.'
'Justinian Jessup is set to break the three-point record for the men's program. Coach Rice set up a three-point contest for the men's basketball team over the summer as a way to encourage his athletes to break records and reach their ultimate potential. So far this season, Jessup isn't failing his coach or fans.'
