Colorado vs Boise State Prediction

Boise State has never won an NCAA Tournament game as the Broncos try to break through against Colorado on Wednesday night.

The Broncos finished tied for 2nd place in the Mountain West Conference at 13-5, but were bounced in their first tournament game against eventual champion New Mexico.

Colorado reached the Pac-12 championship as the Buffaloes fell short against Oregon. The Buffaloes had won eight straight games prior to that defeat, but only two wins came against NCAA Tournament teams.

Boise State owns underdog wins against San Diego State, Colorado State, New Mexico, and Nevada, all teams around the same KenPom ranking range as Colorado.

Let's back Boise State here as a short underdog to cash against Colorado.

Pick: Boise State +2.5 (-110)
