Custom masks with logos from Utah State, Hawaii, George Washington and a few others were lined up ... with news cameras rolling to see which one the 6'7", 190-pound forward would choose!

In the end, Keene locked in on the Boise State mask, picked it up and put it on -- and boom!
He unveiled a Broncos shirt as well -- and it was all met with applause.
Unique, right?!
FYI -- Keene's a baller ... dude had offers from a ton of schools after lighting up courts in Texas -- so the Mountain West Conference is getting a pretty good one.
Good at hoops AND creative AND following coronavirus safety protocols?!?? Boise's gonna love him!!!
