After an 87-43 win over Oakland in the season opener, the Boise State men’s basketball team travels south to face San Francisco on Saturday. Tipoff is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. Mountain Time at the War Memorial Gym in San Francisco.

The Broncos (1-0), picked in the preseason coaches’ poll to win the Mountain West Conference for the first time in program history, looked good against the Golden Grizzlies.

O’Mar Stanley led Boise State with 15 points, eight rebounds, three assists and two blocks, while Andrew Meadow contributed with 15 points, five rebounds, three assists and three steals. Star Tyson Degenhart had 13 points, five rebounds and two assists.

Degenhart, the preseason Mountain West Player of the Year, was named to the 2025 John R. Wooden Award Men’s Player of the Year preseason watch list on Thursday. Degenhart, a two-time first-team All-Mountain West selection, is the first Boise State player to make the Wooden Award watch list since Chandler Hutchison in the 2017-18 season.

Boise State head coach Leon Rice expects San Francisco to be a tough game for the Broncos.

“They’re really fast and they’re really well coached,” Rice said during his postgame radio interview following the Oakland win. “They like to let it spin around on the floor. We have to rebound better than we did tonight and we have to stop the ball in transition better than we did tonight.”

The Dons (1-0), picked to finish fourth in the West Coast Conference preseason poll, opened their season with an 86-78 win over Cal Poly on Tuesday. San Francisco led 39-35 at halftime and held a comfortable lead for most of the second half.

Freshman Tyrone Riley IV scored 24 of his 26 points after halftime to pace the Dons. Malik Thomas added 23 points and five steals.

The teams met last year in Boise, with the Broncos claiming a 63-58 win. San Francisco, which went 23-11 a season ago and made it to the National Invitation Tournament, is 0-3 all-time against Boise State.
