The 1992–93 Boise State Broncos men's basketball team represented Boise State University during the 1992–93 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Broncos were led by tenth-year head coach Bobby Dye and played their home games on campus at the BSU Pavilion in Boise, Idaho.

They finished the regular season at 19–7 overall, with a 10–4 record in the Big Sky Conference, tied for second in the standings.[1][2] In the conference tournament at Moscow, Idaho,[3][4] the second-seeded Broncos received a bye into the semifinals and defeated Weber State by six points.[5][6][7] They met top-seeded host Idaho in the final and won by twelve.[8]

The Broncos received the automatic bid to the NCAA tournament;[9] no other Big Sky members were invited to the tournament or the NIT.[10] Boise State was seeded fourteenth in the West regional and lost by twenty points in the first round to eighth-ranked Vanderbilt in Salt Lake City.[11][12] This was the eleventh consecutive year in which the Big Sky representative lost in the first round.[9]
