The Mountain West had a good regular season last year. They had 5 very good teams (Utah, BYU, San Diego State, New Mexico, UNLV) that were all in contention for NCAA tournament bids late in the season and the conference had some key non-conference wins (UNLV beat overall #1 seeded Louisville in Kentucky).
But, when BYU and Utah represented the conference in the NCAA tournament, they both fell in the first round. The Mountain West is the best conference outside of the big six conferences. And they look to prove it this year with results in the tournament and non-conference play. Get ready for a comprehensive look at each team in the Mountain West.
