There’s not a lot of introduction needed when putting together Mountain West basketball power rankings.
There’s Nevada … and then there’s everyone else.
The Wolf Pack (8-0) has earned that distinction the hard way, winning half of its eight games away from home, including true road wins over two highly regarded teams.
Nevada’s road odyssey continues with a big game this week. The No. 6 Pack will meet No. 20 Arizona State (7-0) on Friday night in Los Angeles in a battle of two of the nation’s last remaining unbeaten teams.
Following the Pack, both Utah State and San Diego State have had solid starts to the season After that, there’s still much to sort out in the middle portion of the MW before league games begin later this month.
