PORTLAND, Ore. — The Boise State men's basketball team is set to face off with Memphis in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on Thursday in a rematch of last year's National Invitation Tournament (NIT) showdown.
As they have done all year, Boise State (27-7, 15-3 MW) could erase history on Thursday by winning the Broncos' first NCAA Tournament game in program history.
The Broncos ride into Portland after winning both the Mountain West Conference regular season crown and their first conference tournament title in Las Vegas. Boise State is 0-7 all-time in March Madness, including losses in 2013 and 2015 after earning at-large bids.
Tip off is at 11:45 a.m. MT on Thursday at the Moda Center in Portland. See more on how to watch the Boise State-Memphis game here.
KTVB's Bronco Roundup Game Day Show will be live on KTVB Channel 7, the KTVB news app, KTVB.COM, and the KTVB YouTube channel just ahead of tipoff, from 10:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. MT.
Both Boise State and Memphis overcame adversity and below .500 starts to the 2022 campaign to earn a trip to March Madness. The Tigers (21-10, 13-5 AAC) are winners of 12 of their last 14 games, including a pair of regular season wins over American Athletic Conference Tournament champions Houston.
