Leon Rice’s alma mater finds its coach; both Boise State basketball teams return a ton

Washington State had a vacancy to coach its men’s basketball team, and that of course meant Leon Rice’s name came up. After all, the Boise State coach interviewed for the job the last time it was open.

However, the Cougars hired San Francisco’s Kyle Smith, which again puts the focus back on the Broncos, who should return a ton of talent along with their coach. On this week’s 208 Podcast, we discussed the news, along with plenty more from March Madness. They also look at the Boise State women, who are loaded for bear once again after an overtime loss in the NCAA Tournament. Plus, a look at Boise State’s spring football, pro day and another Bronco playing in Dallas.
