COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Boise State’s 18-game Mountain West men’s basketball schedule for the 2021-22 season was announced Friday, by the conference. The Broncos will open league play at home, Dec. 28, against Fresno State.
The dates of each game are subject to change, based on television selections. Mountain West national television partners CBS Sports and FOX Sports will now initiate a selection procedure, which will include the shifting of particular games to any night of the week. That will be followed by the identification of network outlets and tipoff times. The broadcast schedule is expected to be announced next month.
Each of the 11 Mountain West schools plays eight home-and-home series along with one additional home game and one additional road game. The Broncos will not host New Mexico and will not travel to San José State. They will play the remaining eight conference opponents twice.
The league opener against Fresno State is followed by back-to-back road games at Wyoming and Utah State. The Broncos return home to host Colorado State (Jan. 8), then travel to Nevada (Jan. 11) before reaching the first of two byes on the schedule.
A home date with Air Force (Jan. 18) is followed by a trip to defending Mountain West champion San Diego State for the first meeting of the year on Jan. 22.
Wyoming comes to ExtraMile Arena to wrap up the month (Jan. 25), and to conclude Boise State’s first series of conference play. A road game at Fresno State (Jan. 29) sends Boise State into its second bye.
The Broncos then take on their two single-game opponents in back-to-back outings, hosting San José State Feb. 5, and traveling to New Mexico Feb. 8. Boise State gets its first look at UNLV on Feb. 12, at ExtraMile Arena, then travels to Air Force for a Feb. 15 meeting before back-to-back marquee home games.
Utah State makes the trip to Boise for a meeting Feb. 19. If the date holds, it will be one year to the day after the Broncos scored 51 points in the second half to rally past the Aggies for a series sweep last season.
San Diego State will visit ExtraMile Arena Feb. 22. This will be the seventh time in Boise State’s 11 years in the Mountain West that the Broncos face the Aztecs in a regular-season game on Feb. 22 or later.
That meeting is followed by a trip to UNLV. The final home game of conference play will be against Nevada (March 1), and the regular season concludes March 5 at Colorado State.
Conference play will determine seeding for the 2022 Mountain West Men’s Basketball Championship, set for March 9-12, at Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.
Boise State’s two byes occur Jan. 15 and Feb. 1.
Season tickets are available now and can be purchased online, in person at the Boise State Athletic Ticket Office or by calling 208-426-4737.
Boise State features 12 returners in 2021-22, including three starters and two All-Mountain West selections from a year ago. A school-record seven Broncos averaged at least eight points per game last season. Five of them will be back in the Blue and Orange this year, marking the most returners who averaged at least eight points per game the year prior since 1983-84.
