How to watch Boise State men’s basketball vs. Clemson: TV channel, live stream

On By Littum

The Boise State men’s basketball team will have a chance to make an early season statement Sunday against a team that went on a deep NCAA tournament run last March.

The Broncos (2-1), who dismantled Corban 100-65 on Tuesday, welcome Clemson (3-0) to a tipoff at 11:30 at ExtraMile Arena. The game will be broadcast on CBS Sports Network.

Clemson defeated Boise State 85-68 last year in South Carolina. The Tigers received a no. 6 seed in the NCAA Tournament and reached the Elite Eight for just the second time in program history.

“We’ve had some great teams come in here, but as a non-league opponent, this is one of the best teams we’ve ever had here,” Broncos coach Leon Rice said earlier this week. “We’ve got a great opportunity and a great team coming in here on Sunday. We’re excited about it.

“This team is coming off the Elite Eight. A coach (Brad Brownell) that I have a lot of respect for and they’ve just been blowing people up. They were challenged a little bit (against Eastern Kentucky) and they responded to the challenge and won with double digits. They’re just a really good basketball team.”

Broncos star forward Tyson Degenhart was held to seven points in the previous meeting. O’Mar Stanley had 11 points and four rebounds.

Rice believes last year’s experience will help the Broncos this time around against the ACC foe.

“We had some guys that were there,” Rice said. “And our guys are basketball junkies. They know how good Clemson was last year and what they did and that they’re undefeated so far. Really good players, and a really good system, good coaches. We’re going to have to play a great game.”

Javan Buchanan led Boise State’s win over Corban with 16 points. Stanley added 15 points, 13 rebounds and four blocks.

The Broncos were coming off an 84-73 loss in San Francisco.

“It was a physical game,” Rice said. “I watched a lot of games last week and … I felt like the San Francisco team could have beaten a lot of teams that night, especially with the way they shot it. They tend to do that at home.”

Senior guard Chase Hunter leads Clemson with 16.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game.
