WATCH & LISTEN: Thursday's game will be streamed on YouTube, with Garrett Jones and Brian King on the call. The game will also be aired on 670 AM KBOI, the radio home of the Broncos, with Bob Behler and Abe Jackson.
SERIES HISTORY: The exhibition game between the Broncos and Mystics signifies the first head-to-head matchup between the two schools. In fact, the contest marks the first time Bismarck State has faced a Division I team.
LAST TIME OUT: In Boise State's second exhibition game on Oct. 17, the Broncos defeated Washington, 109-91, at Idaho Central Arena. Aginaldo Neto scored a game-high 29 points on 7-of-7 shooting. Spencer Ahrens tallied 19 points, while Dovydas Butka collected his second-consecutive double-double with 16 points and 11 rebounds.
HIGH-POWERED OFFENSE: In two exhibition games, Boise State has scored 191 points and shot 50 percent or higher in both contests. The Broncos totaled 82 points and shot 50 percent (29-for-58) against Idaho, while collecting 109 points on 53.3 percent (32-for-60) shooting versus Washington.
YEAH, AG!: Through two exhibition games, Neto is averaging 21.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists, four steals and two blocks while shooting 80 percent from the field and 80 percent from beyond the arc.
DOUBLE-DOUBLE MACHINE: In exhibition play, Butka has collected back-to-back double-doubles. He recorded 18 points and 10 rebounds against Idaho, while totaling 16 points and 11 boards against Washington.
NEW FACES: The 2026-27 Broncos feature eight new faces, including Damari Wheeler-Thomas and Jerquarius Stanback. Last year, Wheeler-Thomas won the Summit League MVP, while Stanback garnered SWAC Defensive Player of the Year honors.
NEW BEGINNINGS: The 2026-27 season is the first for the Broncos in the Pac-12. Boise State departed the Mountain West with 314 wins in 15 years, the second most in the conference in that span, trailing only San Diego State (374).
A WINNING CONFERENCE: Since the start of the 2020-21 season, Boise State has posted a 138-61 (.693) combined record. The Broncos' 138 wins during that span ranks fourth in the Pac-12 and ranks 27th in the nation.
20 WINS: Under head coach Leon Rice, Boise State has won at least 20 games in 13 of his 16 full seasons. The Broncos, who went 20-12 during the 2025-26 campaign, have won at least 20 games in each of the last five years.
PROVEN SCORERS: Boise State's roster has three players with at least 500 career points. Wheeler-Thomas (1,032), Lamar Washington (892) and Butka (766) have all crossed the 500-point threshold.
