Mountain West Conference Race Update

As Seattle University comes to town this evening for a non-conference battle, we have our eyes on the Mountain West Conference standings. With two conference games remaining, there is a lot of positioning going on for the MWC tournament in Las Vegas in two weeks. The top 6 teams in the standings participate in the tournament. The winner gets an automatic berth into the NCAA tournament. The 1st and 2nd place teams from the regular season get a bye in the first round and get to go straight to the semi-finals. As of today, the standings look as follows:

BYU 5-0
Utah 3-2
TCU 3-2
UNLV 3-2
New Mexico 2-3
SDSU 2-3
Wyoming 2-3
Air Force 0-5

(3 points for a win, 1 for a tie, 0 for a loss)

So, lots to play for still. The Utes have the tiebreaker over UNLV...but not over TCU...we can still earn a bye with a couple of wins and TCU dropping or tying a game...
