The 1975–76 Boise State Broncos men's basketball team represented Boise State University during the 1975–76 NCAA Division I basketball season. The Broncos were led by third-year head coach Bus Connor and played their home games on campus at the Bronco Gym in Boise, Idaho.
They finished the regular season at 16–10 overall, with a 9–5 record in the Big Sky Conference,[1][2] tied with Weber State and Idaho State for the regular season title.[3][4] The Broncos were led on the court by senior center Pat Hoke and sophomore guard Steve Connor, the coach's son.[5][6]
No Broncos were named to the all-conference team; Hoke and Connor were on the second team, and senior guard Terry Miller was honorable mention.[7][8][9]
In the first year of the conference tournament, the Broncos defeated the other co-champions: Idaho State in the first round,[5] and host Weber State in the final in double overtime.[6][10] They advanced to the NCAA tournament, their first in Division I; six years earlier in 1970, they had advanced to the College Division tournament (now Division II).
Boise State met fourth-ranked UNLV in the first round at McArthur Court in Eugene, Oregon; the Runnin' Rebels were up by nine points at the half, and won by 25 points, 103–78.[11][12] The Broncos' next NCAA appearance was twelve years later, in 1988.
