A Schedule Designed for Exposure
Boise State’s men’s basketball program announced its complete 2026‑27 non‑conference slate, a 15‑game lineup that blends home‑court showcase events with carefully chosen road tests before the team steps into the revitalised Pac‑12.
The Broncos will open the season at ExtraMile Arena on November 4 against West Coast Baptist, then host a much‑anticipated showdown with Butler on November 8, the biggest non‑conference opponent on the home calendar.
Beyond the familiar confines of Boise, the team travels to neutral sites for contests against Nebraska in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and against Santa Clara and New Mexico at a venue in San Juan Capistrano, California, adding a West Coast flavor to the early schedule.
A Thanksgiving weekend tournament in Idaho Falls will feature Drake, North Dakota State and North Texas, giving the Broncos a compact but competitive field against seasoned postseason teams.
Next season the Pac‑12 will consist of nine members — Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, Gonzaga, Oregon State, San Diego State, Texas State, Utah State and Washington State — many of whom have recently reached deep NCAA tournament runs, including Gonzaga’s title‑game appearance and San Diego State’s Elite Eight showing.
The Broncos’ roster will be reshaped by five new starters and several high‑profile transfers, among them Damari Wheeler‑Thomas from North Dakota State, Lamar Washington from Georgia Tech, Dovydas Butka from Campbell and Jerquarius Stanback from Alabama State, all of whom bring fresh talent and experience.
With a blend of home‑court momentum, challenging neutral‑site matchups and a revitalised conference landscape, Boise State positions itself as a wildcard that could surprise pundits and fans alike as the new Pac‑12 era unfolds.
