Live-Blogging Shish on College Basketball: 2024 NCAA MBK Play-In Game-South Region-Colorado Buffaloes vs. Boise State Broncos

Hello, and welcome to another edition of ‘Live-Blogging Shish on College Basketball'. Tonight, it is the 2024 NCAA MBK Play-In Game, between the Colorado Buffaloes and the Boise State Broncos.

​Buffaloes had to win 8 straight games to get in the Final Pac-12 Tournament Championship. They came up short. But they ended getting in as one of the last at-large bids. They will be looking for KJ Simpson, Tristan da Silva, and Eddie Lampkin to lead the Boulder University to victory.

For the Broncos, they were hoping not to play Tonight. But the Tournament Committee has them as one of the Last Four In the Tournament. They had a strong NET and finished tied for 2nd Place in the Mountain West. But they were one and done in the MW Tournament. Now they will turn to Tyson Degenhart, O’Mar Stanley, and Cam Martin to lead them to the program’s first victory in the NCAA Tournament.

It is the Colorado Buffaloes and the Boise State Broncos, in the 2024 NCAA MBK Play-In Game. The Game will begin shortly.
