We might be **checks notes** roughly five months until the 2023-24 men’s basketball season, but let’s dive into some Mountain West basketball way-too-early power rankings that will almost certainly be wrong nine months from now that you all can laugh at!
1. San Diego State
Last year: 32-7, 15-3
Skinny: Frankly, there’s no other place you can start. Well, you can argue Boise State because they returned Tyson Degenhart, Max Rice and Chibuzo Agbo from its 24-win squad while San Diego State loses Darrion Trammell, Micah Parish, Keshad Johnson and Nathan Mensah.
