You can watch the NCAA Tournament Selection Show alongside Boise State
The Boise State men’s basketball team will learn its NCAA Tournament fate alongside fans Sunday.
The Broncos are hosting a watch party at ExtraMile Arena, and fans can attend for free.
Doors to ExtraMile Arena open at 3 p.m., and the NCAA Tournament Selection Show begins at 4 p.m. on CBS.
The Broncos, who lost in the Mountain West Tournament semifinals, are seeking their second straight tournament ticket. They are expected to receive an at-large bid, according to bracketology experts.
“I think we’re in a good spot. I think our résumé speaks for itself,” Boise State sophomore Tyson Degenhart said. “A lot of Quad 1 wins and no Quad 4 losses like we did last year, so I’m hoping we get a good spot. Hopefully somewhere close, like Sacramento or Denver. It’s going to be hard waiting a couple of days for that, but we’ll be ready.”
Boise State currently ranks 28th in the NET (NCAA Evaluation Tool) rankings with a 24-9 overall record and a 3-5 mark in Quad 1 games.
