NCAA Tournament Preview: #8 Boise State vs. #9 Memphis

The Big Dance.

March Madness.

Boise State has finally made their way to the floor for the first time since 2015 and will tango with the Memphis Tigers, led by NBA Hall of Famer Penny Hardaway and basketball legend Larry Brown. This is one of the best first-round games on the docket and is also a rematch from last year’s NIT quarterfinal. The Tigers beat the Broncos 59-56, with the caveat that Max Rice and Abu Kigab did not play in the game due to season-ending surgeries.

The Broncos are the higher seed, but Las Vegas put the Tigers as the favorite at 2 to 2 ½ points.
