Similar to March Madness expectations, the Boise State Basketball team was sky high awaiting their seeding today.
You have to wonder if the selection committee was also high making their picks. The regular season AND conference champion of the Mountain West Conference, a conference with 4 tournament teams (1 more than the WCC and Pac-12) landed them an 8 seed, the third highest of the conference. (CSU 6, SDSU a higher 8)
Geography was a consolation prize, with a Thursday date upcoming in Portland. They face off against the 9th seeded Memphis Tigers, a rematch of last year's NIT semifinal.
