Boise State men’s basketball to host four-team tournament in East Idaho--Sports Illustrated
The Boise State men’s basketball team will return to Mountain America Center in Idaho Falls this season for a non-conference tournament, the school announced on Tuesday.
The Snake River Collegiate Basketball Invitational will run Friday, Nov. 27 through Sunday, Nov. 29 in Idaho Falls, which is about a four-hour drive from Boise in East Idaho.
The four-team tournament will feature Boise State, Drake, North Dakota State and North Texas. The Broncos will open the tournament against Drake on Nov. 27 followed by matchups with North Texas (Nov. 28) and North Dakota State (Nov. 29).
“Over the past three years, we’ve fostered an incredible partnership with Mountain America Center, and we’re thrilled to host a multi-team event this season in Idaho,” Boise State head coach Leon Rice said in a statement. “I appreciate the diligence and hard work of our staff, the venue and Latigo Sports Partners for handling logistics and strategically putting together an invitational for avid basketball fans in this state and beyond. I have great respect for Drake, North Dakota State and North Texas, and I appreciate those teams accepting our invitation to be part of an exciting and rewarding event during Thanksgiving weekend.”
After making three straight NCAA Tournament appearances, Drake slipped to a 14-20 record last winter in Eric Henderson’s first season at the helm. The Bulldogs placed ninth out of 11 teams in the Missouri Valley Conference.

Ranking the 8 matchups for Field of 68's 24-hour marathon to open 2026-27 season--Busting Brackets
1. Murray State (20-13, 12-8 MVC) vs. Tennessee State (23-10, 15-5 OVC) - 11:30 am ET.
The Racers have what could be one of the best mid-major players in the nation in Roman Domon, a 6’9 forward who averaged 14.2 ppg and 5.2 rpg as a freshman. Auburn transfer guard Kaden Magwood and former GW guard Christian Jones (10 ppg) make up the new backcourt for the Racers.
Meanwhile, Tennessee State is loaded, landing former five-star prospect Aaron Bradshaw from Memphis and Bethune-Cookman transfer guard Arterio Morris (12.5 ppg and 2.9 apg). They also recently landed Josh Rivera from Seton Hall for even more frontcourt depth. Both teams are the preseason favorites in their respective leagues, and it should be a highly competitive matchup.
