The TRU WolfPack men’s basketball team will host the NCAA Divison I Boise State Broncos in an exhibition game at the Tournament Capital Centre on August 3.

It will be the first official game for new TRU head coach Chad Jacobson, who takes over from longtime head coach Scott Clark.

“We are really excited for the opportunity to host Boise State and to be able to bring an NCAA Division I program to Kamloops,” Jacobson said, 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.”

Boise State finished second in the Mountain West Conference with a 24-10 record last season. They were ranked as No. 10 seed in the 2023 NCAA March Madness Tournament, but lost in the Round of 64.

The WolfPack narrowly missed out on the Canada West postseason last year but will be aiming to make it back to the playoffs for the eighth time in the past 10 seasons.

It will be a 6 p.m. tip-off from the TCC.

Tickets are priced at $12.25 for adults, $7.15 for seniors and TRU Alumni, and $4.05 for high school students. Admission is free for TRU students and children under 12.
