Well, here we are.
Two games remain (unless you’re New Mexico and Utah State) in the Mountain West regular season, as 11 teams are vying for one NCAA Tournament bid in next week’s conference tournament.
Nevada, projected as a legitimate contender to halt San Diego State’s run for a fourth consecutive share of the Mountain West regular season title, is tied atop the conference with Colorado State, who has endured its fair share of obstacles en route to an overachieving season.
First off, the current standings:
