The 1969–70 Boise State Broncos men's basketball team represented Boise State College in the 1969–70 NCAA College Division college basketball season.[1] The Broncos were led by fifth-year head coach Murray Satterfield and played their home games on campus at the Bronco Gym in Boise, Idaho.
They gained an invitation to the 32-team College Division tournament (now Division II), but lost to California–Riverside in the first round at Tacoma, Washington,[2] then defeated Sacramento State in the consolation game for third place.[3]
It was Boise State's final season before joining the Big Sky Conference, which was in the University Division for basketball. Bus Connor was in his second season as a Bronco assistant coach; he was promoted to head coach in January 1973.[4]
