TRU WolfPack men’s basketball to host NCAA Div I Boise State in exhibition match

Jun 9, 2023 | 11:34 AM

KAMLOOPS — Kamloops residents will get a chance to see some very high level university basketball this summer.

The Thompson Rivers University WolfPack men’s basketball team will host the NCAA Divison I Boise State Broncos for an exhibition matchup on August 3.

Boise State is coming off a season in which they won the Mountain West Conference and were ranked as a #10 seed in the NCAA tournament (March Madness).

The WolfPack narrowly missed the Canada West playoffs last season.

“We are really excited for the opportunity to host Boise State and to be able to bring an NCAA Division I program to Kamloops,” said WolfPack head coach Chad Jacobson in a news release. “This not only is a great opportunity for our team to be able to come together in the Summer to train and gain valuable game experience against a high-level opponent, but also a chance for the basketball community to come together and support WolfPack basketball.”
