The Broncos were led by eleventh-year head coach Bobby Dye and played their home games on campus at the BSU Pavilion in Boise, Idaho.

They finished the regular season at 14–12 overall, with a 7–7 record in the Big Sky Conference, fifth in the standings.

[10] For a second consecutive year, the Broncos received the automatic bid to the NCAA tournament without winning the regular season title; no other Big Sky members were invited to the tournament or the NIT.

Boise State was seeded fourteenth in the West regional and lost by nine points to Louisville in the first round in Sacramento.

This was Boise State's fourth NCAA Tournament appearance in Division I, the third under Dye, and their last as a member of the Big Sky Conference.
