Idaho Falls to Host 2026 Snake River Collegiate Basketball Invitational
Boise State University is set to welcome four collegiate programs to Idaho Falls for the 2026 Snake River Collegiate Basketball Invitational, a three‑day showcase that will run from November 27 through November 29.
The event will feature six contests, each pitting the Broncos against Drake, North Dakota State and North Texas in a round‑robin format that spreads the action across three consecutive days of Thanksgiving weekend.
A historic matchup on Thanksgiving weekend
Boise State’s men’s team brings an 11‑3 historical edge over those opponents, a record that head coach Leon Rice says underscores the excitement of opening the event at the newly partnered Mountain America Center.
Rice highlighted the collaboration with the venue and the logistics team, noting that the partnership with Latigo Sports Partners has been in the works for the past three years and that the infrastructure is ready to deliver a seamless experience for players and fans alike.
Tickets for each day are on sale, allowing supporters to purchase passes for the entire series or individual games, and the organizers expect a strong turnout from the local community and alumni.
