The Boise State men’s basketball team is two wins away from claiming the Cayman Islands Classic title.

The winner advances to face Missouri State or Boston College in Tuesday’s championship game. 

Previous winners of the Cayman Islands Classic, which began in 2017, include Utah State (2023), Kansas State (2022), Creighton (2018) and Cincinnati (2017).

The Broncos led Hampton 41-21 at the break in the tournament’s opening game and closed it out for their third straight win.

The Jackrabbits pulled away in the second half from Duquesne, another 2024 NCAA Tournament team, for a 71-60 win in their Cayman Islands opener. Sophomore guard Kalen Garry led South Dakota State with 20 points, five rebounds and four assists. 

Senior center Oscar Cluff, a 6-foot-11, 260-pound Australian, leads the Jackrabbits in scoring (17.7 points per game) and rebounding (11.3). Cluff also averages 2.5 assists and nearly one block per game.
