Time to discuss how bad our league sucks

after yet another bad day of basketball for the league yesterday we have officially clinched being a 1 bid league this year.

Just a few years ago we were putting 4-5 teams in the tournament yearly. How did this league tank so fast?

LOL. Pacific SUCKS this year so don't pound your chest just yet man. Conference play is right around the corner. Then, you can see how mighty your Cowboys are this season.

Wish that the regular bad ass teams were up to par this season but they are sucking ass. WTG UNLV, New Mexico and SDSU

Oh...not as good as I was thinking

still you might still be able to contend for the league title. It's not like anyone else has been good.

Colorado State beat Colorado and Nevada stepped up and beat Washington the other day, that's about all this league has done

Washington sucks and Pacific has four wins this season. Not looking good at all for the MWC.

I heard Washington has a really good player so I figure they could be ok. Pacific is a very bad loss

We beat SMU which was good but promptly took a bad loss to Evansville to end our at-large hopes

He might end up going #1. Top 3 definitely. I'm not sure if it's still the case but they are/were on a four or five game losing streak. They're terrible.

Boise State stinks too, but that's no big surprise after losing so much from a team that also disappointed last season.

Sad thing is this year's team still probably ranks in the top 10 of the best teams in Boise State basketball history. Our basketball program was nothing to speak of before Rice got here. Being disappointed in a Boise State basketball team is progress as we finally had expectations.

Oh for sure. And as much as I enjoy CBB, let's not fool ourselves. Football runs everything in this country as it should. So if the hoops team goes 0-30 every season while the football team dominates, well I'd be perfectly fine with it. Football is king and trumps everything else.

Agreed basketball is definitely secondary. It does benefit us to have a basketball program that's at least decent and could contend for the tournament each year. In terms of expansion, obviously there are bigger factors than a basketball program, but having a decent one almost seems required to make a jump these days.

Nevada has votes.. so there's that, they're the kingpin of this sorry conference.

We can at least have fun bickering with each other all year but the only games that really matter are the conference tournament. Only one of us will see the tournament and that will determine who it is

New Mexico has got to be looking at a coaching change this offseason

for years they've been in or around the top 25

this year they've been terrible.

Them playing Arizona would normally be a great matchup between two good teams, now New Mexico is so pathetic I think they're losing by 30 right now

Well sir an upset win over USC would come a long ways toward undoing the stank of that Pacific loss
