† Conference tournament winner |
The 1988–89 Boise State Broncos men's basketball team represented Boise State University during the 1988–89 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Broncos were led by sixth-year head coach Bobby Dye and played their home games on campus at the BSU Pavilion in Boise, Idaho.
They finished the regular season at 22–5 overall, with a 13–3 record in the Big Sky Conference, tied for first in the standings with rival Idaho. In the conference tournament at home in Boise, the top-seeded Broncos again received a bye into the semifinals and defeated Weber State by eleven points.[1][2] They met second-seeded Idaho in the final and fell by seven.[3][4]
With the NCAA tournament on their home floor,[5] BSU was invited to the National Invitation Tournament (NIT), and traveled to Stillwater, Oklahoma,[6] where they lost by fourteen points to the Oklahoma State Cowboys of the Big Eight Conference.[7][8]
The Broncos were led on the court by senior guard Chris Childs, who went on to a lengthy professional career, ending with nine years in the NBA.
