Murray's weekly Mountain West basketball rankings
Each week, RGJ sports writer Chris Murray will rank the Mountain West basketball teams. Here are this week's rankings, with each team's overall record, next opponent and a comment.
Last week: 1
Comment: Boise State has won nine straight games, the longest winning streak in the MW this season. Don't count the Broncos out for an at-large spot in the NCAA Tournament, although they'll have to go 14-4 at worst in conference play (and likely need better). Boise State is 49th in the RPI but the margin for error in MW play for the Broncos is slim given the down profile of the conference this season.
