I saw sir

so close... unfortunately close losses don't get you crap

your at-large hopes are dead but it does show you guys and Nevada are probably tops in the league right now

How the Mountain West is trying to fix its basketball problem

d306e0d5eb6f65611850b788ca92ba62


Mountain West coaches acknowledge their teams must perform better in non-conference play, yet they hold out hope the selection committee will take into account other factors should this year’s league champion run through the league the way San Diego State did last season. To win on the road in the league, a team must endure high-altitude games, crowds larger than many power-conference programs draw and the challenges of traveling to remote Mountain West cities in winter weather.

“I’ve coached in the SEC and the Pac-12, and the venues and the travel in the Mountain West are so underrated,” Nevada coach Eric Musselman said. “To win at New Mexico, to win at San Diego State, to win at Wyoming, that’s really hard. You have to be an awfully good team to win at those places."

especially with what 7....8 eligible players?

Really? I didn't even know that! Crazy, they appeared as a 15th seed in bracketology

The Mountain West champ...a 15th seed, what a new low for this conference

I believe they have seven eligible players. Three of their transfers were ruled ineligible a few weeks ago.

No biggie about running 7 kids. Nevada ran 5-6 for well over 1 month. Now, they are healthy and running 7 lol minus walk ons.

i'm guessing that participating in that tourney results in a net fiscal loss

I know nothing about it sir, I thought higher seeded teams hosted games

Let me start by saying I don't think Boise has much of a prayer to win the tournament at all. But they did get the best draw possible. The three teams that own them and handed them all six of their conference losses are all on the opposite side of the draw.

But that SMU win is going to set us up for a really nice seed in the NIT

I think we can win it all this year sir.
