Boise State began its 2026-27 season by overwhelming West Coast Baptist 132-53 on November 4, establishing Boise State's single-game scoring record. The Broncos also set program highs for made field goals, rebounds and winning margin, and eight players scored at least 10 points.

Dovydas Butka led Boise State with 18 points and nine rebounds. Damari Wheeler-Thomas added 17 points, while Bhan Buom scored 16. Boise State took the lead first and carried a 69-26 advantage into halftime, then used a 24-3 run after the break to stretch the gap to 64 points.

Jerquarius Stanback collected 16 rebounds, including seven on offense. Coach Leon Rice praised the team’s effort and said the game gave players valuable chances to gain experience and learn from game footage. Aginaldo Neto finished with 10 points and eight assists.

The Broncos host Butler on Sunday in their next game. Rice described the matchup as a significant early challenge, with Butler arriving after two decisive wins. Boise State beat the Bulldogs 77-68 last December.
