What to Watch For
How many bids will the Mountain West end up getting? I think the most realistic guess is two with the winners being BYU and the winner of a UNLV-New Mexico likely semifinal match up. With the tournament being played at UNLV it seems likely that it will be UNLV
What We’re Rooting For
Because we think UNLV is actually better than New Mexico we want UNLV to beat New Mexico and face BYU in the final. Luckily the smart guess is that this is exactly what will happen.
What Will Happen
How many home conference losses does UNLV have? The answer is zero. Granted, this did not end up mattering in the Sun Belt where undefeated at home in conference South Alabama lost in the semifinals but it still makes UNLV the safest bet. In UNLV’s two home wins over the two MWC teams the Rebels beat BYU by a staggering 29 points and they beat New Mexico by 19. BYU is the conference’s best team but they’re not better than UNLV at UNLV. We’ll pick the Rebels to take the bid.
