This is a 10* BLOWOUT on Boise State.

Colorado finished 24-10 and had its eight-game win streak snapped in its 75-68 loss to Oregon in the Pac 12 Tournament title game, but they return to the Tournament in the First Four for the first time since 2021.

Boise State finished 22-10, and it's one of the only teams to earn a bid after losing its first conference tournament game.

The Broncos though had some big wins this year and won't be fazed. They beat Saint Mary's and went 2-1 in their last three regular-season games vs. Tournament bound teams.

Boise State defends the three-point line incredibly well, ranked 23rd nationally, while also finishing with a top-five defensive rebounding percentage.

Colorado won only one game away from home vs. an NCAA Tournament team.

Boise State has two extra days of rest here after losing its first game in the conference tournament, which is really big situationally as well at this point of the year.

While I clearly feel the outright is possible, the official call is to grab as many points as you can with BOISE STATE.

Good luck, NP
