You can watch the NCAA Tournament Selection Show alongside Boise State

Boise State Athletics

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.

Here’s where experts think the Broncos will land:
