All chalk in the Mountain West, and it’s still been a phenomenal tournament. #1 San Diego St. needed a last-second shot to beat #8 Boise St. in the quarters, but handled #4 Colorado St. in the semis last night. New Mexico took care of #7 Air Force two nights ago, before winning the war with UNLV last night.
RDoc is the leader in the MWest standings, and he has New Mexico today, so he will take it if the Lobos do. If SDSU wins, Dave will sneak in and take this conference.
#1 San Diego St. vs. #2 New Mexico
These two teams have almost been afterthoughts to UNLV this year, even though they both finished higher than the Rebels in the regular season, beat them head-to-head, and have now outlasted them on their home court in this tournament. So, maybe it’s time to realize that UNLV might actually be the third best team in this league. The question now is who is #1 and who is #2? They’ll settle it on the court tonight.
Only Dave, Rikey, and RSmith have the top-seeded Aztecs winning this tournament. Alexi, Gross, J, Lil Lohse, RDoc, and Stri all have the Lobos.
