The Boise State men’s basketball team shook off a slow start at the inaugural College Basketball Crown to defeat George Washington, 89-59, in Monday’s opening-round game. The Broncos (25-10) trailed 9-3 at the under-12 TV timeout but rallied back to seize a 32-26 halftime lead.

Boise State opened the game shooting 1-for-11 from the field and 0-for-5 from 3-point range, allowing the Revolutionaries to pull ahead early. The game had early shades of Boise State’s loss in the Mountain West Tournament championship to Colorado State, where a slow start put the Broncos in a 25-9 hole.

No one knows what will happen when UCF’s basketball team steps on the court for Tuesday’s opening round of the College Basketball Crown Tournament in Las Vegas, but one thing is sure: It will be something to watch.

Butler's best player, Jahmyl Telfort, will not play in The College Basketball Crown tournament. The senior forward is in Las Vegas but will not be suiting up for the Bulldogs as he prepares for a professional basketball career.

The 16-team tournament gives the Utes a chance to win their part of a $500,000 NIL package and ‘any opportunity to keep competing, we’re going to take that chance’.
