When did the MWC become eligible for this? This use to exclude the MWC, CUSA, and a few other leagues back in the day.

If you’re such a UNLV fan, why did you go elsewhere?

When we started sucking

Remember that every argument you have with someone on MWCboard is actually the continuation of a different argument they had with someone else also on MWCboard.

Old poll.  UNR drops, SDSU drops, BSU and UNLV rise in the next one.

...and Fresno is included. Surprised they weren't in the last one. They were an NIT team last year that return a lot of guys. Also think St. Mary's is overrated this year.

The MWC has had difficulty lately getting teams in this poll. The WCC has been placing more teams.

I have to think that if the MW can get at least 7-8 teams for consideration in Mid-Major Top 25 maybe we can get a consideration by the committee for an at-large bid, if the MW regular season champ doesn't win the conference tournament.

No. We need to get off the "Mid Major Top 25" list altogether and get back to when we were peers with the A10 and Missouri Valley and not the WCC and Horizon League.
