They play with a lot of energy. That and their post looks like he may turn out to be the best in the MWC. They also have good shooting guards. IMO they look like a typical BYU team. Good enough to do well in league but not good enough to make the Dance unless they win the MWC tournament. I can see them finishing top three in the league. That would be great if USU could join in the conversation of possible teams making it to the dance. The more the MWC can have the better.

nvspuds Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I have been watching Fresno State play this morning. I am impressed. They look really good to me..They have excellent guards and Grimes is a beast. I would certainly say the Bulldogs are a solid contender in the MW. USU is in the nix. UNLV is breaking in a lot of youngsters but they will gel soon. It is never a good idea to discount Boise State either. This conference is a lot better and deeper than a lot of folks around here believe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdsuphilip4 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Yes the conference as a whole is headed in the right direction, SDSU definitely had a disappointing MAUI tournament, but still have mid level OOC games left that will show if they have a chance of an at large bid. As is only Nevada is in a good position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far I don’t see any other team that might qualify for an at large berth. IMO the league was better last year. Wyoming and Boise State have taken two steps backward. UNLV is ..well UNLV. UNM lost at home to NMSU. Fresno lacks a good big man. USU is improved but no world beater. AF and SJSU are going nowhere. Lump CSU in with Boise State and Wyoming. I just don’t see the reason for optimism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNLV is a dangerous team that finds ways to win games. I've said all year, UNLV is the 3rd best basketball team in the MWC this year. The BYU vs UNLV game is going to be a Battle.
