Welcome to the wild, wild Mountain West Conference. If San Diego State’s win against Colorado State was an attention-getter, then last Saturday’s Boise State-San Diego State has put Mountain West basketball on the national radar. The Broncos beat the Aztecs 42-37 in San Diego, giving the Aztecs their first conference loss of the season. Boise State now has a signature win on the season and is sitting in first place in the Mountain West. The Broncos’ win shook up the rankings, so let’s see where the teams fall in this week’s rankings:
1) Boise State
A 12-game winning streak, a perfect 6-0 conference record, first place in the Mountain West, and a win at one of the toughest buildings in college basketball has placed the Broncos into first place in the power rankings for the first time this season.
