Worst Loss Ever? Fans Rip Boise State’s Brutal Basketball Showing

Basketball season is officially here and despite the fact that it may still be getting overshadowed by football for a few more weeks--teams across America have offically kicked of their seasons, with eyes on the prize: March Madness.

As the head coach of Gonzaga University, Mark Few, annually reminds the country-- it's the greatest sporting event on earth!

Only 68 teams can make the 'big dance' and every win--or loss--counts.

Boise State sat out of March Madness last year, for the first time in a minute. After three consecutive years of making it to the tournament, the Broncos didn't make the cut in 2025. There's plenty of time for redemption--but they're going to need to win back some momentum and some fan support.

Just this week, Boise State dropped their season opener.

Losses happen. Losses at home happen. Season-opening losses to a program that nobody has ever heard of? That's a tough blow and many fans are calling it the 'worst loss' in program history.

Boise State fell by one point to Hawaii Pacific, a Division II basketball program that is based out of a retired strip mall in Hawaii!

Fans are still talking about the loss--and lumping that into the much more high-profile loss that Boise State football suffered on The Blue against Fresno State a few days earlier.

Are fans being too salty? Probably so.

There is an ENTIRE BASKETBALL SEASON ahead of the Broncos and projections show that head coach Leon Rice did a great job of recruiting in the transfer portal and will indeed have a high caliber roster.

Give the guys a minute--there's a lot to prove as they enter their last season in the Mountain West Conference?

Hey, Fans...and students: Let the coaches get the team dialed in. You've got one year to work on yourself before the likes of Gonzaga march into town and you see what a real college basketball environment looks like! You don't even know what's coming.
