Our inexperienced backcourt will struggle, I'm afraid. Realistically, I bet we split too.

AF will surprise many with this young team and new coach. They'll make you defend them for 28seconds each possession and then hound you with matchup zone on defense.

I hope so! Always happy to see other MW teams improve.

Just kidding.

Ags by 15, then Ags by 10.
I would not be surprised to see us split. Even with our veteran teams we’ve had a hard in Colorado Springs
I wouldn’t be surprised to see us split either, honestly. But my prediction is that we win both.

So, I think we are the 3rd best team in the MW.

And I am starting to think there is a uuuuuuuuge dropoff after us. It’s SDSU, BSU, then USU and then a big fall off a cliff. I think the rest of the teams in the conference are varying degrees of average, bad, to horrific.

I hope I do not eat these words, but I am feeling confident about this.

I think CSU is a pretty good team. I think you are right that Boise and SDSU are the top 2. I do think that as the Aggies gain more time playing with each other they may surprise some by the end of season.

Agreed. Csu and usu are both good teams. Wyoming is a wild card. Nevada is not bad. The rest though sure look not very good. New Mexico and fresno look very disappointing. I wonder how much of this is they haven’t been able to play and practice until recently. Both have some talent.

SDSU, BSU, USU, CSU. And I’m not 100% sold on including CSU in the group.

No one else is a contender. I’ve seen enough, and am stopping the count.

I agree, at least as far as regular season title goes. It’s a 3 horse race for first with CSU having the potential to finish 3rd or 4th. There is still time for some of the mid-pack teams to improve and get rolling in time for the conference tourney and make some noise though.

Why do people think we're better than CSU? They split with SDSU. I feel like the top 4 teams are pretty even right now with SDSU holding a slight advantage. There is a big old drop off after the top 4.

I think CSU’s win over SDSU was flukey. SDSU led that game by 26.

CSU scored 33 points in their only other game against a team with a pulse.

I am still open to the possibility they are good and even better than us, but I’m not convinced yet.

I don't know if Nevada is a contender the championship, but they have the talent to be in the 3-5 range.

I have not been impressed by BSU's defense and CSU looked pretty pedestrian against UNLV last night. I think they are still top teams but not what I thought they could be.

Boise's second transfer from Arizona became eligible in the last game or two. Doutrive (might be spelling that wrong). Anyways he put up 21 pts in their win 23 pt win at Wyoming last night.

Honestly, Queta should have a 20 pt 20 reb game against Wyoming. Anyone tall dominates them.

Same kid followed up 17 more tonight in their 20 pt win at Wyoming. I gotta say I don’t think there is as deep as team in the conference.

Yeah Boise has looked very good. I have loved how we have looked, but they are the team to beat for now.

Kindof crazy how they have parlayed their football success into basketball success. There aren't a ton of school who seem to be good at both. I think they have been getting much better at bball lately, though it is left to be seen whether it is that football money helps them become consistent conference contenders.

I dunno. I think their basketball is kind of like our football. They are consistently decent, but will only get to the tournament 1 in 5 years or so. Leon Rice has been there a long time now, he is probably as good as he's going to get. Last year they had a decent team put together and performed decently. This is a year where things have lined up and they still aren't a clear favorite in the conference. I think you can pretty well count on them being decent again next year, but likely not a tournament team. :noidea:

There are always going to be benefits of keeping good coaches for a long period of time.

Leon has been consistently good there. I’m surprised he has not had or chosen another opportunity. Maybe if they keep this pace after this year he will.

With that said I hope Boise stays consistently good. Good for the conference.

BSU's new AD is from Baylor. He might know a thing or two about building and maintaining a basketball program to give Leon some help.

We will split with UNLV (that’s my pick for headscratcher loss) and Boise St but will win all other remaining games barring injuries. You heard it here first.

I think that gets us in as an at large, even with a headscratcher in there. 3/4 from CSU/BSU will help our resume
