The season marked the last season for Boise State in the MWC.[1] In September 2024, the Pac-12 Conference announced that Boise State was one of four schools that would join that conference after the 2025–26 school year.[2]
Previous season
The Broncos finished the 2024–25 season 26–11, 14–6 in Mountain West play to finish in a tie for fourth place.[3] As the No. 5 seed in the Mountain West tournament, they upset San Diego State in the quarterfinals and New Mexico in the semifinals to reach the tournament championship game. However, they lost to Colorado State in the championship game. They received an at-large bid to the first-ever College Basketball Crown Tournament, where they defeated George Washington in the first round,[4] Butler in the quarterfinals,[5] before losing to Nebraska in the semifinals.[6]
