Boise State finished the non conference season 10-2 while the Rams went 7-6. BSU is 7-0 at home this year.

Colorado State has won three-straight games including a 68-66 buzzer-beating victory over Long Beach State (Dec. 23), the Rams and Broncos have one common opponent from the non-conference season, as Colorado State fell to Oregon on Dec. 8, 95-65, in Eugene. Boise State beat the Ducks on a half court three pointer at the buzzer in Eugene.
