BOISE, Idaho – Boise State men's basketball will compete against Boise State's Esports team Sunday, Aug. 1, in an event that will be broadcast live on Twitch. Members of each program will face off in three games: Rocket League, Call of Duty and NBA 2K.

Men's basketball will be represented by two student-athletes in each game. Lukas Milner and Naje Smith will handle Rocket League. Abu Kigab and Kasean Pryor will try their hand at Call of Duty. Emmanuel Akot and Devonaire Doutrive will man the controls in NBA 2K.
