Wednesday night’s final regular-season games proved enticing table-setters for next week’s Mountain West women’s basketball tournament in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Two of Wednesday’s four games went to overtime, regular-season champion UNLV lost at home to Nevada, and runner-up New Mexico took the night off as the final tournament seeds settled into place.
UNLV and New Mexico were already locked into the top two seeding positions entering Wednesday’s games, but Wyoming, Nevada and Air Force won to secure Nos. 3-5, respectively. The host Cowgirls edged Colorado State 69-63 in overtime, Nevada handed UNLV a 71-64 defeat at Cox Pavilion, and Air Force clobbered visiting San Diego State 70-46.
