The good old Mountain West-Missouri Valley Challenge is back. The Aztecs are preseason favorites to win the Mountain West Conference (by conference writers), but drew Steve Fisher’s alma mater, Illinois State. This is the first matchup between the two schools since the 1973, five years after Fisher had graduated with his Master’s degree.
The Aztecs have prided themselves on defense throughout the years.
